Huh, something I've wondered about today.

I have seen torpedoes bouncing deeper with an impact setting, from the keel.. by 0,3 -0,5 meters

I think most of the Sub vs sub action in WW2 happened in the Med, British and Italian subs fought it out with eachother a fair bit.
Only about half a dozen Allied subs were sunk by Uboats, but about 18 Uboats were lost at the hands of Allied subs... The Brit sub fleet was the busiest with 13 Uboat kills.

Thanks a lot for the info, next time i will take it in account. It's just that i was scared that my torp runs under the enemy sub...
However, 2 meters seems to be a good depth to hit a surfaced sub.
