So I noticed in one of the recent beta patches it looks like the Mk 37 model was changed a bit then I looked up some images and found that there are apparently short and long Mk 37s and the short version is what is in game.

Then I read the Wiki and it says that the Mod 1 is longer, heavier and slower than the Mod 0 but has wire guidance (no data on how much slower). Then in 1967 they started converting the Mod 0 into Mod 3 and the Mod 1 into Mod 2, which was a seeker change that improved acquisition from 700 to 1000 yards. This makes the Mod 3 the short torpedo with a better seeker and the Mod 2 the longer, wire-guided torpedo with a better seeker.

Anyway, given that the game files specify a 950 yard sensor range, it seems that visually we have the Mod 3 short body but wire guidance suggests it should be a Mod 2...

Obviously all the above is nitpicking tiny details that are not that big a deal in the grand scheme of things but I thought I'd point it out for accuracy's sake.
