I'm not sure, that I explain myself correctly... I apologize; English is not my mother-language.

I don't think the accuracy is the problem. I am succesfully hitting targets very far away. And knowing the max range of the different torpedoes definitely helped me yesterday. :-)

My problem is, that sometimes my torpedoes SINK. They have a perfect course to get a hit. They continue, and then suddenly they stop. My crew will call out a miss. When I use the external view to follow the torpedoes, I can see they suddenly stops and sinks to the bottom of the ocean-floor. This happens at different ranges. And not always. And seeing the range-table quink99 posted, it doesn't seem that RANGE or SPEED is the problem.
For example, I tried to fire a torpedo at a ship at around 4000m. When the torpedo reached ~1400m, it stopped and sank. I followed it with my external view and marked the position on the map. I repatedly fired torpedoes on different speeds, all sinking in the same spot.

This is how I can best explain. I hope I am understandable.
