Thoughts on Mk23 torpedoes

So the reliability was never improved for the Mk23?

Makes you wonder why they even designed it...

Yes it was, but the Mark23 is basically the same torpedo as the Mark14, except with (I think) a nominally/marginally more potent warhead, but no long range setting.

I read somewhere that the Mk14 used TNT while the Mk23 used the more powerful Torpex warheads. Is this simulated in the game?

I believe Mk14's were swapped to Torpex as well once it became available.
