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? |
I swear I'm not as dumb as (I hope) I appear.... but my torps are still running deep.
I just completed an encounter with a Kongo, 27.9 draft. Multiplied, that's 90.6.. Minus 11 = 79.6.....
Soooo... I set the torp depth at 15 per the US gauge illustrated above. That's a give of, what? 13? And three of them just flew right under her.
Then, I decided to divide.... 27.9/3.25=8.6 rough. Cant take 11 away from that unless you consider the deck gun. :p
*Lost on patrol with torps that he can't program* MAN TEH DECK GUN!!1
