How to fix broken TDC from Torpedo Man's damage/speed passive ability, keeping damage

I don't want to stink up Dowly's 1xTC thread, so I'll post this here.

To get accurate torpedoes again, edit the file named SH5\data\UPCDataGE\UPCCrewData\SpecialAbilities.up c and change the last line listed below. This will keep the damage increase part of the special ability, but restore accurate TDC calculations.

Code:

;TORPEDOMAN - Passive abilities

[SpecialAbility 15]
ID=Ability-Increase-Torpedo-SpeedDamage
NameDisplayable=Ability-Increase-Torpedo-SpeedDamage-Name
Description=Ability-Increase-Torpedo-SpeedDamage-Description, Ability-Increase-Torpedo-SpeedDamage-Description, Ability-Increase-Torpedo-SpeedDamage-Description, Ability-Increase-Torpedo-SpeedDamage-Description, Ability-Increase-Torpedo-SpeedDamage-Description
Levels= 5
AbilityType=TorpedoSpeed, TorpedoDamage    ;increase in torpedo speed and damage (in percents)
AbilityValue= 0, 4, 0, 8, 0, 12, 0, 16, 0, 20

I tested this out on a saved game I had where I ran across a Queen Elizabeth Battleship being escorted by 10 destroyers, on a westward course north of Scotland. I set up my shot 3850 meters from impact zone, set all TDC input data appropriately and fired off my 2 fish, set 1 meter below the Battleship's keel at medium speed.

My first torpedo was a dud and sailed clean under the keel, but the second one was good! The notable part is they went exactly where I was aiming.

She's taking on water sir!

She's going down sir!

One of the torpedo patches in TDW's Generic File Patcher fixes the problem.

Hi Peter,

is it enabled by default in TWOS (I enabled the TWOS snapshot in TDW when I installed it)?

If I meddle with the file/settings mentioned above, will I increase both torpedo speed AND damage, or can I set both? The settings on the file after I have installed TWOS seems different
