When the torpedo broaches it can go off course, not sure why, perhaps as the fins come out of the water it can roll and throw the gyro out or something, but simply setting the torpedoes to as shllow as you can in game is not something the real guys could really do.
You sure? I remember reading in several books including O Kane's book WAHOO that they set torpedos as shallow as they would go when they were having issues with deep running torpedos.Depended on sea state of course.
