I have had a little success.

No, not in makin gthe mine torps, but in torps as mines.

I set their speed to.25, set to magnetic (contact is a joke and never worked yet) a depth greater than my own hull (so they shoot out the bottom center mine chutes) , and let them go one at a time.

I reset the magnetic mine range as suggested,

and thay them about 12000 yards in front of a convoy.

the results were interesting, 1 damaged 1 sunk in a 18 mine string.
