I'm on my second war patrol in early '42, running RSRD and TMO 2.5.

One big question. I think all of my torpedoes are running deep. I know they historically ran deep, but is this modeled in every torpedo in TMO? As in, can I expect a torpedo set at 6 feet to run at 16 feet? I've had a couple perfect solutions on some Marus at rather close range, and one or two will be duds, and the rest will miss completely. I can only assume that they're running under the ship. I never mess with magnetic influence detonators, but maybe I should?

Should I just start setting my torpedoes to the most shallow setting?

Also, thanks for the answers Torpx! Thanks for the input on the mods as well. Decided to go with TMO/RSRDC first. I'm enjoying it thus far.
