I know, I know, that is for CARRIERS... to make it sink quicker

Settings for magnetic torpedoes in moderate weather (7m < wind <12m)

2m --- PT boat:rock: & other small coastal vessels in GWX
4m --- DD
8m --- small mechants
10.5m --- huge mechants


25m --- Carriers with draft > 30m. Creates a big hole in the bottom or ignite the magazine (who knows, especially carriers carrys lots of torpedoes, different AP bombs and HE bombs as well as shells for .30 guns) to achieve 1 shot 1 kill

Mechanism... I don't know, maybe a fish has a similiar density of that of water (1gcm-1) which allows it to float or sink when guided by a propeller

The deepest I have set my torpedo running depth is 13 meters set for magnetic detonation for those Passenger Liners whose draft is 12.6 meters or so.
