Wow that sounds like a lot of difference.. water has a massive deterrence for explosive power so I would want it exploding under keel but as close to the ship as possible. There's an armor layer but you just need to get under that. Do that and the ship is taking on water big time. I heard its a good idea to set them 5 feet under keel but I had so many sail under the ship I said screw it and started setting for roughly 1.5- 3 ft ABOVE draft.. I wouldn't want to set it anything like 2 meters below or above. That's just not an accurate shot. And even setting it at draft can make them sail below the ship. There's also the issue of duds so in that case id rather it hit the bottom of the ship under the armor. My comfort zone is 1.5 feet above draft to I guess 2.5 ft.. that being said I guess 2 feet above draft would work great. This guy said 1.5 meters was perfect but I don't know. That's just too much variance. As i said, I want it blowing up touching the very bottom of the ship if possible. I don't want to be aiming at the armor layer. The ship in the torpedo sub school level is a good practice target. I was downing it in two torpedoes consistently and it calls for 3-4. Supposedly a well placed shot can take down any ship in one shot. It would probably take a few minutes for it to sink like that so one perfect shot to the bow and one center will do it. I was also doing it on 100% realism. Side note. You can get the crew to estimate speed by giving them a couple range measurements at about a minute apart. I noticed a lot of people are saying the crew won't do it but this is how I eventually was able to get them to do it. No more manual distance mapping to find speed. You don't even need to run the chronometer. I thought it had something to do with that but it doesn't. I want to be able to do everything with the sonar and mapping but I digress. Again my recommendation would be .7 meters above draft or about 2 ft. Actually I just read the guys experiment again and it looks like going slightly higher may work better but one time one of them impacted so let's go ahead and say 4 -4.5ft above is perfect? It's just interesting that the recommendation is 5 feet below but almost 5 feet above is what you want. Interesting about the 10' depth variance, that explains inconsistent results.
