[QUOTE=propbeanie;2867783]The player sub detecting the already running torpedo does make sense, especially with this game... Each plane though - in theory - can only 'drop' one. I have not looked into the animation involved, but it might be that the torpedo isn't actually dropped from the plane itself./QUOTE]
I can't say that I've ever checked if the torpedo appears to be attached to the plane, but I can say that I have observed the splash it makes when it hits the water. And using an underwater view, I have seen the torpedo as it bores in on my boat.
