I did some more testing. I put a Mutsuki destroyer as a target at 1000 meters. With the original value of 2.9 meters (draft) the torpedoes wen't right under it when torpedo depth was 3.0 meters. If I used the value (that I have been selling, those in the printed manual), i.e. 4.6 meters and set the torpedo depth to 4.8, the torpedo actually seemed to travel too deep. That would indicate that those original values are true ones. Well, not true but accurate enough for magnetics to explode.

At this point, it looks like there will be errors in your firing data, IF you aim your stadimeter to the mast top on some carriers ( see post right above). But, if you put the stadimeter on the deck level, you get the right range. Who, would even thought this? I always measure from the mast top.


Biggest difference between the mast heights are with these ships:

Hiryu
Taiyo

And some what smaller, but noticeable difference are these:
Asashio
Large minelayer
Conte Verde
Horai
Zinbu
Nagara
Akita
Kasagisan

I'll put all of them under test at 1000 meters, using both, the original and printed mast height values. It's worth to do, cos the carrier case showed that something is not right.
