I only use contact fuses now and generally set the depth at least 5 feet above the keel. In rough weather I use the default depth setting.
Depth and draft info is so flakey in this game that i simply started using 15-18' for everything except DD's, which I leave at default. I dont even try gunboats or other flatboats.
