The vertical limits on the torpedo seeker sounds like a wonderful change. I also like the idea of giving the AI a bit of a hand by not limiting it quite so much for them. However, this does raise one question, in which catagory do the torpedoes for the FFG AI MH60 and SUBROCS fall? If the torpedo seekers are reduced for these weapons, they will go from being marginally effective to not really effective at all (which of course is why they aren't really carried in a non-nuclear navy).
Ah, I'll add the helical search pattern!

Ok, I'm going to replace the circle search pattern with a helical pattern that oscillates between 200-400ft below the set search depth (limited by the floor of the torpedo) and 200-400ft above the set search pattern (limited by the ceiling).

This fix, along with the verticle limits to the seeker cones will be for any weapon employed by the player either directly or indirectly (FFG AI MH60 or SUBROC).

Only the helical search pattern will be applied to strictly AI torpedoes (although some kind of broad limit on the AI verticle seeker dimensions may be employed).

Cheers,
David
