Right so, I tried in feet and three still went under her. The way I sunk her was to leave the daggum gauge at 6' and unload the tubes. I probably should have spread them but I was so aggrevated at that point I just wanted to sink her and move on. Lord, the DD were ticked, too.

I'm going to start setting my torps with a 15' give where possible (assuming the wife lets me play this weekend) and see what that does.

EDIT: LOL! Sorry, Wilcke. =-P
