Hi h.sie,

This mod is absolutely wonderful, and your "Best of SubSim" award was well deserved.

I was wondering if you could answer a question about whether or not the programming would allow you to be able to do something specific.

For the Torpedo Failure Fix, I understand that when a torpedo registers as a dud, it goes immediately to max depth. Is there any possibility that you could set it such that when a torpedo registers as a dud that it could randomly increase the torpedo depth by 2-4 meters?

As an even further step, is it possible to have the torpedo register as a "dud", and then have a certain percentage of those torpedoes go to max depth and then the remaining percentage of torpedoes increase depth by 2-4 meters, i.e. still remain live, but just traveling at a lower depth?

I am just wondering if this is possible to do to more accurately represent the conclusions from the Torpedo Crisis where the Torpedo Directorate was finding torpedoes running at lower depths?

Thanx in advance.
