No acoustic torps??

I should imagine it won't be long before someone mods in an early introduction of the Falke.

Yes, but the basics of the "follow the sound" behavior should be included in the game engine, in the code, I think. Otherwise, I see no way someone could "instruct" a torpedo to change its course and simulate this very specific behavior.

If the game is going to be as mod friendly as some suggest, will this not be doable though

Depends how they implemented the 'moddability'. There needs to be some way to instruct the torpedo, either by a hardcoded controller, or by access to some scripting language and game variables.

All will be revealed in March

It wont be possible...
they would shoot themselves in the foot if it were possible,
bacsue it would make a 43/45 addon redundant...

I tend to agree with Gustav, with a twist. I think it will be moddable when/if UBI releases an add-on or DLC that finishes the war wth those torps included. That way the code is there for the modders as needed. I liken the SH 3,4,5 modders here at SUBSIM to BASF. "They did not make Silent Hunter, they just made it better (WAY BETTER)."

From the few bits of info that we've got I take Neals interview as a solid. So 1944 etc. should be modable. However, whether you are able to adjust the behaviour of torpedoes to such an extend is written (or rather not written) on another page.
