I asked about this once before.

Since then I've discovered that the recog manual is just plain wrong about the draft on certain ships.

Heavy seas will often cause your torps to go low, but if you have the correct draft for a ship and set torpedo depth 1 - 3 ft under this, the results are very dramatic. Many ships will split in two with one shot under the keel

, as opposed to four or five into the sides. The mag detonator seems to need to be within 5 ft to actually work though. I think this is the problem when playing metric measures. One notch on the dial in imperial is one foot, while on metric one notch would be almost four feet.:hmm: You don't have fine enough control on metric, causing a lot of low misses.
