This combined with the reg stating to set the exploder to mag and the run depth set to 5 feet below the keel of the target basically meant a zero chance for a kill. To combat this find the depth of keel in the manual, multiply by 3.25 (got to do the metric conversion thingy) then subtract 12 and set to contact only.
Sinky,

Are you saying the torp depth gauge in the US subs is metric?



This gauge? Even though I'm set to use "Imperial" in my game settings?
