I cant sink a tanker at point blank range

i did a good bit of testing with sh4 and based on stock settings torps armed between 350-400m but not before and acustic torps almost always required a full 400m to arm.

as a rule i recommend 400-500 minimum ranges (500-600 for acustics) but if the target is heading straight for you it still must travel the 350-400m so depending on speeds with a point blank or down the throat shot you may require as much as 600-700m to arm since the DD can quickly close that distance a few hundred meters during the time after launch. (600-700 for acustics but for head on shots or anchored ships shouldnt be using acustics)
