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
