Hi all,

my question is in the title and concerns the game patched 1.08 with no mods added.
I was unable to find it with the searching facility.
I had a look in the bluebook V2, which state that the seeker is 5000 yards large (diameter of the basis of hte cone) and 4 to 6000 yards long
(height of the cone)

IMHO,those datas seems to be wrong.
I checked yesteday on SC patched 1.08
I paused the game while a MK48 was enable on his final run
and the datas measured on the map were
Cone base width 500 yards
Cone height 1250 yards

are those values the same for all torpedoes?
does the SCX mods changed those values?

can someone either comment and/or confirm??? THX.

The red cone you see on the fire control display is there only to indicate that the torpedo has enabled. It's size does not indicate the seeker's range or angle-of-view.
