Wouldn’t this be data link guided not semi active because there isn’t any seeker on the torpedo?

Most likely becuase the Sonar is not tracking anything and the torpedoes don't have any target to attack.You need to check if the Sonar has a target locked. In my example there is not actual controller that makes the sonar find and track a target, you need to do that yourself as I said in the description.

No matter what I do, the torpedoes always go to the left. In my submarine, the torpedoes always go to the left, even in your example the torpedoes ALWAYS go to the left. Please Help

Sorry for the late answer, yes it might miss - Stormworks sonars are limited in their accuracy and unless you have two sonars behind eachother like you see on many missiles, you will miss. The new small sonars could be used to compensate for that but they only have a 1000m range and could only be used in the terminal phase.

I might work on something like this but right now I am working on a new radar system.

After screwing with the yaw constants on the provided torpedoes I have gotten the torpedo to go quite directly towards the target but whatever I do it always misses by just a few meters in one direction or another. It seems like the terminal guidance is affecting the aim even though it is tracking for most of the cruise.

Does the facing of my ship shown on the monitor indicate anything about the torpedo aiming? Because it seems to think I am facing 90 degrees off even though my compass is facing the correct way

Added and connected all the components as best I could understand into my ship and even with the sonar target light coming on my torpedos just turn right after leaving the tube and circle back to my own sub.

Just stand inside the station and no clip with the home key on your keyboard.

great torpedo, they work very well on amccoy2014s new sub, was wondering tho how you got the freecam and clear water like in your test vid, i want to see the torpedoes track a target

as much as i love the concept of this torpedo sadly stormworks sonars and radars are bad thos resulting in miss until devs fix radars im gonna be using laser torpedoes

I've increased stability. The torpedo poking out the water is not problem though since it doesn't affect perfomance by a lot. Also, this torpedo is just an example of what you can do, this creation is more about the systems you can use. Thanks for the feedback!

Looks good, however the torp was poking out of the water a lot during the ship test

Yea it's probably the sonar not detecting stuff then

But the STAB cam work perfecktly fine:steamthumbsup:
Pufferfish  [author] 22 Mar, 2021 @ 6:32am 
Yes sure, make sure your Sonar detects something. There seems to be problems with that so check if your sonar is even tracking a target. If it does, double check you connected the logic right.

Hello, i putted you sonar and torpedo technic in my submarine but just does not want to guide its selfe no matter what i do. Every thing is hooked up correcktly and has power so i want to ask you, if you may want to help me?
Pufferfish  [author] 21 Mar, 2021 @ 4:07am 
The system works fine, it must be a game problem.

I tried submerging the vehicle it still doesnt work
Inverspe 20 Mar, 2021 @ 10:15pm 
Or maybe because the submarine im using is not submerged????

Also, I'm gonna add a radar alternative which will only work for surfaced targets.
Pufferfish  [author] 20 Mar, 2021 @ 8:31am 
Well yea, then your sonar is glitched just like mine. I can't do anything about that sadly, that's why I installed this camera as alternative. I know that for some people the Sonar does work, for some it doesn't. It's a known glitch and I hope the devs fix it soon.
Inverspe 20 Mar, 2021 @ 2:21am 
No Im using this premade launcher
Pufferfish  [author] 20 Mar, 2021 @ 1:00am 
@Inverspe, are you sure your sonar detects something? If yes, try seeing if you have everything hooked up right. It must be something on your side.
Inverspe 19 Mar, 2021 @ 9:25am 
even though the target is literally in front of the torpedos face it just avoids it
jerryfanfan 19 Mar, 2021 @ 12:44am 
Cool!

cool very cool
