Default kaiten

as of now it only looks like a normal accoustic torpedo but has all the specs of a kaiten regarding range, speed, and explosive. I am trying to get the torpedo 3d to be replaced by that of the midget sub which is close to a kaiten in shape, then I'll need info to be able to tweak the way the torp searches for targets.

Default hunt with Kaiten

I took it easy to see how it would behave : I ambushed a friendly convoy on route to Manilla ! I targeted one of the ships 3000 yards away (max 22 km remember), then opened the tube and fired a kaiten torpedo.
It went straight for a long while, then when I thought it was gonna pass ahead of the target ship, a medium size freighter, it suddenly veered to the left, towards the ship, It went striaght for a little while, then veered sharply to the right as the hull of the ship came in view, crept up behind it and hit the screws ! There was a huge splash, then explosions coursed through the ship as she finally broke up in two and sank.
