Here's my problem EVERY torpedo I shoot at a destroyer goes directly under it. It does not matter if I set the Torpedo depth to almost zero they still go right under the destoryer ships.....whats up? Thanks for the help....
There's nothing wrong with your imperial periscope depth.

As for the deep running torpedoes; it was a common fault in both Mk10 and Mk14 torpedoes and the effect will be most noticeable when attacking shallow draught craft like destroyers. Early in the Pacific War, given a good firing angle, a good solution, a good range and a target that stays on course and speed, I would still expect to miss a destroyer about 70% of the time.

WOW, that sucks so everyone is missing destroyers about 70% of the time? I have yet to hit one & I have shot at about 4 with at least 7-10 torpedos, all with EXCELLENT firing solutions on easy. Everyone just glides about 3 feet below the keel (bottom) of the boat.. =(
