Torpedo Question!

Hello hello!

Long time lurker, and I have a question about my torpedoes... I have searched and can't find the exact answer for want of looking, but apologies if this is somewhere else. There is such a wealth of information it is fantastic but sometimes overwhelming!

So I am playing SH5, updated (as it's via Steam) and I'm using TWOS version 2.2.9. I've been back and forth with the mod and reinstalled a few times (fresh installs), but through the help of this forum finally worked out the jist of the mod - hey I've even used Enigma to decode messages! And I've finally realised how Auto TDC works - I will eventually give manual targeting a go.

My question - why the hell do so many of my torpedoes go straight under my target? It's like they pass straight through the vessel. This is using Auto TDC, where i lock onto the target, then unlock so it adjusts the torpedo line. I guess this could happen - so am I doing something wrong when I'm aiming? I was chasing a warship last night, perfect shot, on target, but the torpedo just kept going. Is this because I'm submerged? I managed to sink some Merchant vessels whilst on the surface. It might be my complete lack of knowledge but any advice or historical/practical guidance would be most welcome.

Thank you in advance!
