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)

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
