Question on gyroangle and torpedo 'turning' (point and shoot)

Pebble Monkey · 08-16-10, 07:16 AM

The gyroangle is the setting on the eel that tells it which direction to head off in. 000 is optimum because the torpedo would travel a short distance from the uboat before making it's turn. The larger the turn, the less accurate it will be.

Hope that answers the question, if not, someone with more experience will probably be along shortly to clarify things.
