Patch History
================================================================
V1.01   (Released to the mass audience)
------
Use realistic turn rates.  Rudder will be set to 10 degrees for ordered course 
changes unless ordered via the rudder indicator.
Turn rate (in degrees per second) will be calculated using rudder angle
times speed in kts times a constant (0.022).

Use realistic torpedo reload times.  Time to load from an empty tube will be 
8 minutes.  Time to unload a tube will be 10 minutes.

Fire control display of the torpedo uses a ‘blue’ acoustic cone until the torpedo 
goes active at which point the cone is drawn as ‘red’.

fixed by the previous patch, is now actually fixed.
