1st torpedo launched at 4M, fast speed, 1100 meters distance, 58AOB . . . ran about 15 meters deep.

2nd torpedo launched at 3M, fast speed, 950 meters distance, 59AOB . . . ran about 15 meters deep.

3rd torpedo launched at 2M, fast speed, 600 meters distance, 61AOB . . . ran about 15 meters deep.

My friend , you missed a vital parameter of the torpedo failure mod.
There is a certain safety depth , depending on wind speed in order to minimize the possibility of the torpedo failure.

In Hsie's readme find No 18 Topredo failure fix and give it a look
In 15m/s winds safety depth is below 6m , so firing a torp at 4m depth with 15m/s winds you are asking for trouble! Hehe....

I have created a chart for that:

Moreover a fellow Kaleun has created a mod placing this(improved on new template) plus many more pull down charts in the game.
I appologize , but I don't remember who did it.
Gute Jadg Herr Kaleun
