That explains why it felt like aprox 200 ft, layer is usually around 150.

Yeah I know, but the point is precisely for me to be able to engage two targets at different depths without having to change the depth of my big fat sub before each launch. I mean, the fancy Mk48s have wires, they can literally be remote controlled and do all this fancy stuff, yet I can't tell the damn thing "go down to 600 ft and find something to blow up"
Yes, I could in theory activate the torp and manually adjust its depth, but that means I'd have to not pay attention to the other target while I do that. Not to mention the ton of ways that limits what I can do with torps, due to wire breaks and stuff.

I don't usually stalk my torpedoes in 3D view so I've never seen them do this, but doesn't that seem weird?? Torpedo sensor "cones" are wide and flat, how on earth would a Mk48 at ~180 ft detect an Oscar at 700 ft??
