The warhead is doable - there are a few mods that give you up to a 3km destruct radius. The issue with the 48 (and all modern torps) is their wire guided - so they can be steered (or swam) out as both remote sensors and weapons. If a target swerves, no problem - you steer it back with the weapons sensor cone and sooner or later - its gonna go boom. That function just isnt possible with the engine we have.

Since you can't steer it in SH4, maybe you'd settle for the Shkval?

It'd give me a good laugh to see a Jap destroyer trying to outstrip a torpedo doing over 250 knots! Probably wouldn't even need a warhead hitting at that speed.

:rotfl:

Just for the sake of fairness, do you also want the Japanese to have ASROC?

I want friggin' sharks with lasers on their heads. And chainsaws for fins.

All this feeble talk of torpedoes and deck guns will seem quite amusing and childish when I finally unveil my Ice-9 Mod For SH4 mod in about 2 weeks:
