"Torpedo has acquired!"

[p7p8]

You can send torpedo with 5 kts less than max. If torpedo is acquired - speed will increase to max. When torpedo loose track - speed will back to searching value.

That's a nice work-around indeed, but also requires manually checking, constantly, in a situation where I'd rather take other actions

Before hit you should always track on map own torpedo and mark on map ("enter" key):
- when target is acquired
- when torpedo loses track (because of decoys)
- exact hit point (sometimes you need use 2 torpedoes)

This things have very high priority for experienced player.
For me higher priority have only torpedo evasion.

It is obvious you speak from multi-player experience.
I usually stick to sp, because I am more interested in whole scenarios and even campaigns, rather than single combat situations. Good advice though, I never did manage my fish that detailed, I will experiment with it.

Anyways, my point was not "how to know", it Was "is it possible to bring the mentioned feature into the game".

Maybe it is possible - similar for UUV or Korund mobile device.
In other hand i think wireguided torpedoes shouldn't be controlable in all range like it is now. That means, feedback also should be only in close range to own submarine.

What do you mean?

I think he means being able to wire-guide a torpedo until it runs out of fuel 20 nmi later. I wouldn't think the wires in real life are that long, but I dunno.

I mean that game engine allows some feedback from torpedoes because devices like UUV works like mobile sonar.

I don't know how long is real wire for wireguided torpedoes but i think it is about 10 nmi (in RA it is 27 nmi for ADCAP)
