Precisely...

I usually set all my torpedo depths to minimum as soon as I start my patrol and keep them at minimum every time I reload. That way, if I forget about it, I don't end up missing a juicy target. Also remember that they run about 10 feet too deep (early war... I'm not sure when it gets corrected) so if you target a ship with a 24 ft keel, it's safest to set the depth to about 10-14 feet.

While we're on the topic, does anyone know a way to tell if a torpedo tube door is open besides cycling the door or using external view? I'd like to have some sort of indicator... sometimes I'm a little forgetful and will run for days with an open tube.
