Yep - so you use the "draft" number to set your torpedos when shooting normally from the side - you only use the "beam" number to set your torpedos when firing from directly below your target :)

Do you mean when you're directly behind or in front of the target? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I just wanna get better at this game.

LOL - no - I meant directly below (if you're firing straight up at the bottom of the ship, then the beam would be a relevant factor in whether you would hit it) :D

Obviously, it was intended as a small joke, as there's really no way to fire straight up at the bottom of the target ship, though I guess it was so small nobody noticed it :(
