Torpedoes run too deep (Bug)

Well, i tried to hit Medium freighter with 4 torps: four hits, but no one explodes, even with deep set to minimum. Always they run under the keel (two or three feet under) leave the boat safe. This smell like a bug, isn't it?

What year is it?

US Mk10 and Mk14 torpedos ran deep for 6+ months until they figured out that the depth calibration was based on a test warhead, not a real warhead.

Yes, it was a bug...in real life. It's fixed somewhen in 1943.

Mmm... i'm talking with historians eh? Well, last patrol - december 1944 - i shoot all of my torps (twelve at th end) with no explosions. Each one, sets to zero depth - tun across (not above but... across) cargo and carriers. Someone "historian" has some report about crossing torpedoes in pacific thater, late 1944? Or maybe was in... area 51?

historic regards
