Torpedo depth settings don't matter, 2 hits, roll over in seconds and sink.

So where can I tweak the damage models? Zones.cfg lists hitpoints armor value, etc, but there is no entry for any type of CV. I think I saw a "new escort" entry, and I know I saw a battleship entry, then various merchants and cargo ships, all sounding somewhat generic.

Oddly, the merchants have armor values, while things like smoke---and battleship hulls---have a value of "-1". Is that a mistake? Is there another file someplace?

zones.cfg armor level -1 is a pointer to *.zon armorlevel settings. or at least it used to be. A LOT of stuff in zones.cfg is no longer used.
