I just thought of another important question to add to my original list:
4. Does the year during which you are playing have any effect on torpedo running depths? I've read in several threads that historically there were many problems with torpedos during the early years of the war, including inaccurate depth mechanisms -- but it's never been really clear to me whether and how that might actually be modelled in the game. In particular most historical documents I've read (including that excellent link that The Avon Lady posted) suggested that MK14 torpedos were running 5-11ft below their intended depths due to calibration problems. Does anyone know whether the game actually tries to replicate the 1941-1943 torpedo depth issues?
