someone correct me, but shouldnt it be possible to:

1. Change from active to passive homing or vice versa.

2. Change depth.

3. Change seeker pattern. (circle to snake)

4. change speed.


also, ive wondered about why there appears to be no 'drive around/drive through' logic in torps when they encounter CMs.

any torpedo experts out there?

The CM problem is really an issue. In DW the CM can cause the ADCAP to detonate. In reality this is impossible as the war head requires a combination of triggers either of which could be contact or magnetic influence.

If there were one aspect of game play I could change it is this.

Also, concerning CMs, ADCAP in reality can navigate around them or even use them to project the future position of the vessel. As you know this is not a feature in DW.
