I estimate 1 to 2 meters (3 to 6 feet) below target's draft. But, I've been known to go a little bit more, maybe as much as 3 meters or 9 to 10 feet. If the target is sinking and is low in the water, I'd adjust for that extra depth.
Do you know when you LOCK on a ship in SH4, the game automatically changes the torpedo's depth to 2 & 1/2 feet above the draft. This can cause problems if you lock on a large capital ship and then re-aim & fire at a shallow draft vessel. Torpedo depth
always changes when you use the Lock function.
In the heat of battle one does not need to worry about torpedo depth as long as it is shallow enough. It's more important to to hit the target than the optimum depth if there really is one.
