I know the devs were modding several "realisms", but I have a hard time believing that they modded torpedoes not running proper depth... Unless, there is someone in the "know" who can confirm this.

Could the problem be that the torp depth guage on the TDC is in meters instead of feet????
I've had the same problem...get the draft from the manual (in feet), set the torp depth 3 to 5 feet below the keel, then fire. Each time, the torps run on target, but misses significantly below the keel.
With this in mind, I happened to be looking at the IPN poster that came with my game and noticed all the draft entries for each ship were given in meters. This gave me the idea that the torp depth gauge on the TDC could be in meters instead of feet. Now when I set the torp depth to 1 or 2 meters below the metric eqivalent of the imperical draft entry given in the manual, my torps have begun detonating below the keel as expected (as long as my firing solution is solid). |
No, but many of the drafts listed in the RM are wrong. A torp set for "30" is certainly not running near a hundred feet deep. What I'm wondering is if the magnetic detonator uses the RM values as well. Take the Mogami, for example. Draft listed as 14.5 ft., but you must set torpedos at 25 feet or more to clear the actual 3D hull. If the detonators think the keel is actually at 14.5 ft., then the torps are running more than 10 ft. below that. 10 ft. should be too much for Mk. VI detonators, especially if the running deeper than set "dud" is also in effect.

But if you are underwater, it does nothing. Opening that door underwater might be unhealthy.
