question about fido torpedo

Thanks all of you for your replies

@jimbuna:

No actually I meant the US fido, but you say that the falke is able to alter its depth also downwards? That means that if launched from a shallow sub or a surface ship against a deeper sub it will actually dive towards its target, providing that the target is within its sensor cone of course? The reason why I ask is that Zel and I are currently working to make a cold war mod for SHIV. Here the acoustic torpedoes are completely stupid - even the US mk27, which is supposed to be an ASW weapon! cannot home in if the target is below it, it just circles around over it! I know this is an SHIII thread, but I just wondered if this was different in previous versions, I remember that in SHII the fido could efficiently home in on a submarine....hmmm.....well, thank you very much
