[REL] AI launched torpedoes

[Rockin Robbins]

This smells like as lousy an idea as Ducimus' evil airplanes. I have to confess that when he announced that I thought it was the stupidest thing anybody ever thought of. And when I played with it I realized that it was genius, the best new idea in Silent Hunter 4 to date.

I think this is another one of those game-changer ideas that will force us to operate with a little more fear and in a little less Rambo-like fashion. If we're setting up a surface attack and a fleet of six torpedo boats with two or four of these torpedoes charges us from two directions at 30 knots, what do you think our reaction would be?

Did the Japanese have E-Boats or the equivalent? They certainly were good at destroyers and torpedoes, so something can be cooked up in any event. This promises to mess up our nice tidy game and introduce a little refreshing mayhem!
