While editing, I made another change, more out of personal preference rather than historical accuracy. All subs have had the maximum torpedo firing depth lowered slightly to 100 feet.

I don't see why you did this. If you are making a mod for historical accuracy then it should be historical.

Because I have no idea what the maximum torpedo firing depth really was. I think I did try to find out, but couldn't find it anywhere. And given the other wrong info in the game, there was no reason to believe it was right either, so I changed it. It was only a few feet in difference anyway.

FWIW, I checked RFB and it has the maximum torpedo firing depth set to 150 feet. Where they got their number from I don't know.

I understand what you mean about the game being of dubious reliability. I skimmed HNSA and found a manual on torpedo tubes and there was some info about launching torpedos at depth.

Oh well, I couldn't copy and paste it here, but it's in Chapter 11, if anyone wants to read about it.

They could launch to 200 feet, by using greater impulse pressures. BTW, torpedo tubes were actually rather complicated pieces of machinery.

Oh, and nice work on your mods.

I've updated the mod. See the first post for details.
