Torpedos running under targets.....

Hello I'm playing stock SH3 with the Hsie and stiebler patches enabled. Currently in a career in May 1941 and I have a huge bad rash of torpedos running under the targets...... I'll set the depth for 3.5 meters (usually for a finishing shot to induce flooding on a crippled ship on parts where maybe it hasn't flooded yet) and it will totally go under a C3 (9 meter draft) by at least 3-4 meters!!!

I'll end up blowing like 5 eels on one target!! This has been happening in rough, moderate, and calm seas (maybe not as much in the calm). Ideas anyone? If I'm in rougher seas and I fire when the uboat is pitching down, will that throw off the torpedo's depth? Does the game model that? Hell......did that even happen in real life? I thought the torp's internal equipment was supposed to stabilize it at the depth one would set it at. All input welcome and appreciated. Thanks.
