You always see in the movies "Hot, straight, and normal". Is that why they listened to make sure that the bearing rate of the torp wasn't changing radically which I guess would mean a circle runner?

Can you here your fish running in in SH3?

So, I am assume the thing to do if you get a circular run would be to crash dive?

Finally, are GWX2 circle runs true geometric circles or is there some randomization? Since, most of the time your sub should be making 1-3 kts when taking the shot anway.

Thanks.

you can listen to your torpedo on the hydrophone after it is fired... it will sound like a medium - high pitched whine.

if the torpedo seems to be changing it's bearing rapidly (and you didnt fire at a target that would warrant a rapid course change) that means you have a circle runner... but it is not that common, and usually only occurs after firing an acoustic torpedo.
