Correct me if ia am wrong, aint Putting your boat low in the water makes your watchcrew close the hatches and move in? So practically it will be a submerged postion no matter how your coning tower is surfaced?

or am i wrong?
Well actually, running decks awash can be done two ways, depending on your depth; one is what you mention above and the other is slightly shallower and have your gun crew on deck. It all depends on the depth you select.

BTW, if i set the range of a torpedo to say, 1200m and DD is 700m away (Set to magnetic) will it run deep when near to DD at 700m or will it do it in 1200m (and hit DD and bounce off on the way)?
I don't know what you mean when you say you set the running distance (range). Each specific torpedo has it's own running distance. i.e.: T1 fast 5,000m; medium 7,500 m and slow 12,500 m; T2 7,500 max. So, you torpedo will run that distance unless something gets in it's way, like a ship, or you have a dud.
