Err Victor III using stand off airborne torpedos?

This is critical knowledge, thanks guys. I mean Captain's.

I was a bit alarmed at the fact they can apparently launch them at any depth.

In RSR I believe you could launch anything at 300ft, in Cold waters it is reduced. Fair enough.

The Shkval is all well and good, but at that speed, I can't see it would be able to hear or detect anything, and you can surely just dodge the thing at any distance?

I can understand the thinking- fire a nuclear equipped version in the general direction of a carrier group and watch the stampede.

The torpedo has a magnetic proximity thingy-ma-do-bob

It can be hard to dodge, it gets to you pretty quick and submarines don't turn or accelerate on a dime. But yes, a conventional warhead would have to be pretty close (less than a boat length) to do even minor damage.
