Deep running torpedo fix date?

IonicRipper · 01-13-12, 03:52 PM

Greetings fellow skippers

I know the torps the US navy supplies us runs about 10 feet deeper due to not being calibrated with the warheads (or something like that

)
Does anyone know the approximate date this is fixed? And what i should set my torpedo depth at when it will be fixed for a good keel shot on magnetic detonators?
I grew so accustomed to these deep running fishes i know i'll screw up a few times

P.S. Not running TMO, RFB or RSRDC, just a few various small mods.

I'm not sure of the exact date but I think most (or all) of the torpedo problems were ironed out around Sept. 43.

That sounds about right to me as well, about halfway through the war.

They switched from the faulty magnetic to contacts and realized those were not dependable as well.

Wow, that was post #500 for me.

Hope I was right.

Not sure how it is in the game without mods, but by '44 they are as good as they are going to get.
