Oooh, wait, ... are you refering to magnetic or impact? I remember receiving two messages from BDU, one refering to torpedo's running deeper than the setting and the other saying we need to use magnetic only.
I've been setting mine to only 3.5 - 4 meters deep and using impact on a 80 to 90 degree firing angle only.
Every time I use a magnetic, I either miss or have a dud. I've never really figured out how the magnetic works. I've read that when using magnetic, you should fire at a ship from aft or fore as to get the eel running the length of the ship, a meter or two below the hull. Like I mentioned, I've never been able to get a hit using magnetic.
Can someone please elaborate on the use of magnetics?
