Thanks,

BTW, I am really getting sucked in to this mod! Kind of hard to break away from

Usually the draft are good, but first war years there are lot of deep run fish (mostly the T1)
Keep in mind the sea state too, very important as ships are following waves height...and not the torpedoes!
So if you have 4 m waves height, It’s possible that The torp cross the ship path 4 m below the draft setting you gave.
What i usually do at war start, is to set the T1 on impact and on 5m depth for a 8m Ship draft (assuming I’m almost on a 90° angle shot)
Less when sea state is bad
