Yes the range was shorter for the torps enabled at 20 nm compared with those that just ran to
20 nm enabled and were immediately prenabled. The snakers all ran less distance.

That seemed pretty real - but if yoiu think I experienced a 'miracle' - try the same test. ***

I got 30 nm from a passive running at 150 m depth and at 30 knts !!!

The range at different depths was so small as to be hardly worth mentioning. ( 1 nm ? - measurement .?)

PS.*** Modus. I marked Nav with launch point and range circles at 20 nm, 25 nm, 27 nm and 30 nm.
The Ak was at 8 knts and the torp launch proceedure only took a minute. The torps were all set to
enable at the same range and monitered so that, where appropriate to the test they
could be prenabled. The self shut-down points for the torps were logged and measured. The game was
accelerated during torp runs but this was a constant factor in all experiments so could not account for differentials.
I ran three separate torp launch tests each of four 53s.

I was glad to find what I did.
