the reason for the confusion is if the target is coming towards you the min is 400 but if it its going away from you then it "can be" as little as 300
the torpedo must travel 350 before it arms but travel distance keeps reducing if the target is coming at you and of course it increases if the target is going away from you.
if you want a good rule of thumb for any situation, don't fire if its under 500 and you are ok and it its a DD coming right at you its best to not fire if its under 500 because they can close distance very fast and a torp fired at 600 barely goes 400 before the DD runs into it
