Toredo Arm time is determined by TIME not RANGE. With that said, pulling the trigger on a target 400 meters away would not be wise as you may (in real life) sink your self at the same time.
Would be very cool if you could get interior shake effect for any detonation within 1000 meters.
A T1 set to High Speed needs to travel approximately 400 meters to arm. I made a 1000 meter Bearing Plotter that has the 400 and 800 meter rings bold. 400 metes for min range and 800 for optimal range.
I have watched torpedo's bounce along the boat side a couple times before it exploaded when firing at minimum range. I think it was a TIV electric.
