When you lock your scope on a target, watch what happens to the depth setting. It will jump to some insane number like 22 (for large merchants). You actually have to cycle out of the torpedo tube by either "w" or clicking on it to get the setting to 'default' back to 6. If you unlock from that target and relock on it (or another target), the setting will again jump to some deep number. Once you cycle out of that tube (regardless of whether you fire) the rest of the tubes will be at 6.
This is why most players first torp runs deep and the rest do not. My best guess is the devs wanted an autocalc of draft available to the player. Or maybe it's a bug. Either way, it isn't consistent.
As for duds, set to run slow and impact. For me, it's caused my torpedo dud rate to drop bigtime. Out of 24 total torps, I'll average about 4-6 duds on a patrol, shooting from between 800-1200 yards.
