mk27 slightly destroying gameplay experience...

From what I understand, the torp would home toward the screws, causing the fish to follow a lag pursuit and that shots fired with a small AoB from the target may have had problems acquiring a good contact. I assume hull noise and such was sufficient if the target was moving at high speeds.

I would expect the majority of hits would be stern hits, great for disabling ships if the the damage model has the fidelity for it(If yet to see any stern shots cripple a ship).

If you get too many amidship hits, I'd question the fidelity of the tracking model. Its likly working more like a active ping fish than a passive or just a over-simplified ship-seeking fish instead of a true passive sonar tracking fish(an oversight from previous SH versions).
