Torpedoes run too deep (Bug)

[Alnor]

Well, i tried to hit Medium freighter with 4 torps: four hits, but no one explodes, even with deep set to minimum. Always they run under the keel (two or three feet under) leave the boat safe. This smell like a bug, isn't it?

What year is it?

US Mk10 and Mk14 torpedos ran deep for 6+ months until they figured out that the depth calibration was based on a test warhead, not a real warhead.

Yes, it was a bug...in real life. It's fixed somewhen in 1943.

Don't people study history anymore? :hmm:

:|\\ Mmm... i'm talking with historians eh? Well, last patrol - december 1944 - i shoot all of my torps (twelve at th end) with no explosions. Each one, sets to zero depth - tun across (not above but... across) cargo and carriers. Someone "historian" has some report about crossing torpedoes in pacific thater, late 1944? Or maybe was in... area 51?

I think they run too deep. The game originally was set up in metric and then apparently changed to Imperial yet I believe the depths and distances are still calculated at metric although we think we are using Imperial.

What. :-? :doh: :88) :huh:

Note to self: do not answer forums just after getting up for the day:roll:.

The game interface shows Imperial settings, feet, yards, yet, the game is still running as if it is metric. In other words, the feet/yards eye candy are there but the game is still running as if it is metric. So a meter is 3 inches longer than a yard. We see one yard (36 inches) set but it is actually 39 inches when conversion is made.

Well a "smart" skipper would be aware of this problem and set there torpedoes a litte less deep :know:

[Sailor Steve]

He did say he set them to zero. The fact is that deep running was a problem; but it was fixed by late 1943. In 1944 he shouldn't be having that problem.

So it's a feature then.
