Attempt retargeting

Hi

As seen in the attachment, a torpedo that was not able to acquire its target remains in "attempt retargeting" for an excessively long time.

It also happens with SARH or similar guided missiles when they lose their target and remain in attempt retargeting for too long.
I think that time should be lowered for both missiles and torpedoes by a few seconds and then the weapon should disappear (simulating that it self-destructs).

Once a few seconds have passed, if they have not been able to reacquire an objective, they generally will not achieve it and having them around the map in the "attempt retargeting" state only clutters the map and is of no use.

Sometimes they get stuck in this state like in this case and exceed their range.

Regards

In real life, those missiles typically have a timed self destruct either with no target or no link back to the firing unit. I have no idea what that is.
