[Done] AI planes dropping homing torpedoes by Peabody

[keltos01]

In the test pictures I showed at the beginning of the thread, the torpedo dropped backwards, hit the water, then moved backwards and down deep (I followed it all the way) then started moving forward again, went up to torpedo depth (5 feet I believe) and went straight to the target.

in a pm, lurker_hlb3 told us :

I too “cloned” the Torpedo_Air_US into a “Mk24” and took the 3d model of the “MK27” so it would appear as a real “MK24”, however even though you change the “type” in amun_AirTorpedo from “AIR” to “Mk27TorpUS” in the .sim file, the system still treated the weapon as a “straight” running non-homing torpedo.

All test showed that the “only” time you would every get hit is if you were on the surface going in a “straight” line at speed of 6 knots or less. If you were at “periscope” depth the torpedo would go right over the top of you and unlike a true home torpedo, it would not turn to re-engage me.

so we still have to work on the homing..
