real world a torpedo had a very high chance of being a surface runner when set to less than 3 metres

why would you want to set it <3 meters?.........enlighten me

Surface runners and faulty depth keeping are not modelled in SHIII. Sadly, we can fired in any sea state.
You might set the depth at less than 3 metres in very stormy weather when a ship is riding up and down on the crest of the waves. Then your torpedo set at 4 metres could go under the ship. You turned the magnetic pistol off and thus it doesn't explode.
You might do it to target an escort with a impact pistol rather than risk a premature explosion. with the magnetic pistol.
It should be noted, that the 3 metres was the depth for fair weather and not high sea states.
