Actually, when the Mark 18 was first introduced, it did have depth keeping problems.Most were solved but they did tend to run deeper from time to time.O Kane and others talk about this in their books.

In SH 4 i believe Mark 18 comes into service around August of 43....set them shallow until Jan 44 or so, you'll be fine.Will on rare occasion get a dud.Prematures, well Mark 18 did not have magnetic exploder but does in the game, just use contact only and you wont have to worry about prematures.

Circle run is always a problem with Mark 18, I have one not long ago and it was July 1945.
