Hitting Stationary Ships in Port?

Your torps should run at your depth at the time of shooting. I do the same as Hachiman and enable them before they get too shallow. I've not seen the torps go to the preset depth not even in 688(I)H/K(janes). You have to go active and they will go to the correct depth, try and see with truth on. Anyway, the torps will have a good chance at hitting since the stationary ships are just that, stationary, and theres not much they can do. Although I remember a mission in Sub Command where if youre the 688(I) near the murmansk harbor you have to sink some ships that are really shallow and it was damn near impossible. I think it was because there was a rise in the topography before the torpedo reached the ship. So if the ship is at 13 ft and there is a rise to 3 feet before you reach the ship, then the torpedo will hit the bottom. You may have to activate, so that the torp reaches the preset depth, then wire guide around the shallower regions.
this should work.
