Icon9 How to tweak torp behavior?

By default, you can set torpedoes to run shallow, level, or deep.
However, the current setting for "deep" is nowhere deep enough in my opinion.
I believe right now it makes torpedoes run at 200 ft. If I remember correctly, the sensor "cone" of a Mk48 is 400 ft top to bottom.
This means that a torpedo running "deep" will be at 200 ft, with half its sensor cone height allowing it to detect subs down to 600 ft. Hell, I often carry out my engagements around 400 ft and if I set a torpedo to run "deep" it will actually go up 200 ft .



There are enemy subs that can go down to 2000 ft in the game



Now, I'm not trying to get my torpedoes to run that deep, but I would very much like to change the "DEEP" setting to 600 ft instead of 200.


In the weapons.txt file I found for every weapon a variable called "DepthSettings". It allows for 3 values: LEVEL, SHALLOW and DEEP. These strings are clearly referring to something, but where and how can I edit that "something"? I can't find the target anywhere.


I just want DEEP to equal 600 ft.


I'm losing my mind here, please help
