works better at times is because now water is flowing down into the bowles of the ships instead of having to flood their way up first. A torpedo has a better effect in diasabling a ship faster if set to a more shallow setting. If you want to split a ship in half a deeper setting near the base of the keel is better.

So a torpedo set just bellow the water line will in most cases bring a ship to it's knee's a lot faster than one set deep especialy with using Natural Sinking Mechanics as a Mod. They take on water much faster with using that method.
