Question - do your modified torpedoes gradually sink after launch? This has been a longstanding problem with the AI torpedoes, and while experimenting with the original mod I had to make torpedoes run at about 70 knots or give them a very short range - otherwise they would gradually run too deep to hit anything. Just wondering if you know what causes this.
