I think I'll give up with this convoy.

I've spotted one swallow torp dead stopped a bit further, probably because, as you said, waves were an obstacle. And deep torps don't seem to detonate. Probably because the angle is bad when a torp in contact mode is "too deep" and hit the hull of the ship... But I'm not even sure, because some of my torps have hit another ship than the one I was hitting.

Yet, again, even the speed sestimation tool gave me results between 6 and 10. And like you said, at that distance, torps meet the target in a very short time, less than half a minute.

Wind speed is 15 m/s... It's frustrating not to hit what I aim after 3 hours of tests.
