Enemy SET-65s seem to be wire guided?

What about wire-breaks on launch in '68? I get a lot of these even when going 5 knots and shooting straight ahead. I guess this could be legit because I thought I read that the 68 subs could only shoot a limited amount of wire guided torps at one time? Or only had a limited amount of wire-guidance kits?

I just would like to know what guidelines to go by. Helps with tactics and attack planning.

The Skipjack can only maintain a single wire at a time, so if you fire additional wire-guided torpedoes, their wires will automatically break.

As far as the other 1968 subs are concerned, the Permit and the Sturgeon can maintain two simultaneous wires.

Thanks for the info. Does it matter which tubes they are fired from to get 2 wires at the same time?
