Bug in the doctrines
According to the weapons info document, the missile variant of the MPT-1UE torpedo can target surface and subsurface targets
Active or passive mode torpedo set by random method in doctrine.
Testing done by fellow players have confirmed that the random method is not working, the MPT-1UE always uses passive search.
Not once has it used active search at least when targeting subs.
Looking at the doctrine files, it seems the value is locked at PASSIVE instead of allowing true randomness between passive and active.
The same problem occurs with the Silex (asroc that carries an UMGT-1 torpedo). According to the weapons info document, the torpedo should be able to use either active or passive homing based on a random method in the doctrine. Testing revealed that
the random method doesn't work, the torpedo always uses passive search.
