The Cold Water devs contemplated adding the Mk37c to the game. In the mid to late 1960's the US Navy created an upgrade kit the MK37 to add a Otto II propulsion. It is similar to the NT37 but kept the original sensor and guidance system with only minor upgrades made to them.

The package would have increased speed by 40% and doubled the range. The upgrades were never used by the Navy probably due to the rapid progress on the MK 48.

Yes, it gives you an another perspective on how things were. Americans had, no doubt about it, superior boats, but the weapons were miserable. Doubly so for Britons, Tigertrash in 80s, ugh. Soviets on the other hand had noisy deaf subs but had torpedoes that could actually kill the opponents, if a) they could hear them b) the torpedo could acquire.

As far as I understood from some online reference, USN was well aware of Mk 37 problems but didn't want to upgrade it because it might have gotten the Mk48 project cancelled outright if there was something that was not quite as dire.

From the little information available it sounds like the MK37c was a backup option in case the cold war turned hot and the MK48 program failed or took to long. The Navy needed quick and cheap way to get a better torpedo. Of course by the 70's even a 36-38 knot torpedo speed was basically useless at that point.

Default DotMod v0.3c-1 Released

DotMod 0.3c-1 provides a pair of fixes to the core game code as a stop-gap before the issue of 0.4. It also provides enhanced OSX compatability and a few minor data updates.
  1. Fixes an issue with campaing vessel selector where the same random number was generated due to the seed being created too quickly
  2. Provides a workaround temporary fix for people who have experienced issues with an unrecoverable error on the main menu
  3. Fixes pink transparent textures in OSX with a fallback shader.

You’re welcome! If you are referring to the modest mod that we make with voices in Latin Spanish, the contribution is minimal compared to the terrible work of you developing and improving the game. Best wishes. We look forward to further improvements in the mod. Kind regards!
