This should work most times. I donīt know from witch depth the subs in WW2 could launch torps - so it could be cheating.

Edit: just checked out the unmodified settings from SH3 1.4: 20m. So itīs a little bit of cheating.
I am sure the depth limitations on launching torpedos has something to do with water pressure. It would be interesting to play around with the various types of subs, Allied or German, and see how much havoc you could create from below periscope depth.

I bet that modern atomic subs don't have anywhere near the same limitations. I would search out a today's submariner and ask him. But if he told me then he would probably have to shoot me.
