I remember playing Aces of The Deep Command a long time ago and I rember being able to sink a warship or merchant by firing a "fish" at it from 50 to 100 metres deep. Has anyone done this in Silent Hunter III? Now be honest, eh? If you did, how did you do it? Robert

Can't fire torpedos from those depths in SH3.

50m is the maximum depth for firing. I tried firing a T4 (acoustic) from somewhere between there and 20m; didn't hit the target, though.

In the Type XXI, the Nibelung sonar is supposed to allow you to fire from between periscope depth and 50m, using a sonar contact only, but it doesn't work and I don't know of a fix.

Thanks guys for answering my question. Robert.
