Will that give the torpedo enough distance to arm (350 meters)? Lets assume the DD is traveling at 20 Kts or 10.28 meters per second Let's assume the G7A torpedo is traveling at 44 kts or 22.5 meters per second. If my cypherin is right...  If you fire at a range of 500 meters, the torpedo and the DD will impact each other after aprox 15.2 seconds at the point where the torpedo will have traveled aprox 343 meters and the DD will have traveled approx 156 meters. This not taking into account the acceleration delay in the G7A, which will make the torpedo travel less than 343 meters. Will the torpedo arm itself in 343 meters? I think 500 meters is a bit close for a down the throat shot.
