thank you very much.
yes, yes, yes.
the two ships in question are the KMSSAda and the KMSSAden.
ship .cfg .sim

Ada 7.9m 12m

Aden 6.6m 12m


the reason i took notice is that i was consistently firing torpedos that went too deep for these two...but not other ships. when one uses auto-targeting one is at the mercy of stored data for certain settings such as ship draft.
so i can just about conclude that the TDC is taking data from the .sim file but the actual ship draft is taken from the .cfg.
this will be easy to finalize by changing the .sim to match the .cfg (or vice versa) and go out and see if the default auto-target results in a hit.
thanks again, old chap.
