I know how to use them but they're useless at longer ranges

I guess you're right - at longer ranges (over 2000 meters or so) you'll have to use manual targeting..

I understand your question now - you'd like more numbers, to cover ranges over 2000 meters... oh well, maybe someone will mod it..but, I wonder if in real life submarines fired torpedoes at such a long distances because at longer distances even the smallest error in targeting will result in a nearly certain torpedo miss

I know that manual targeting has to be precise but were regular people with no training. Plus in real life they would just shout out the numbers, rather that using a bunch of menus.
