C) torpedoes were the most precious, limited commodity to a sub,

neither side seemed willing to risk a miss by firing blind.


For Crash Dive, I tried to apply the same logic. Since you can see the exact position, speed and heading of any ship that's close enough, you can take a shot from any depth, but you can't use the TDC (you have to manually line up the bearing/time lines).

Hope that helps!
