Question: does the running depth of the torpedo have any impact on the chance to cause premature explosions?

I went ahead & added your question as #13 in my Q&A thread:

I'd already talked about premature detonations a bit in the answers to questions #2 and #9, and as a side-effect of my testing so far I'm 90% certain that weather is the only thing that has an effect on premature detonation chances in the game. Weather does have a huge effect though, as well as distance-to-target, in a sense. Also "wave-state" (weather) is the only factor mentioned in the "torpedoes_us.sim" for premature detonation chances.

I'll try to do some more specific testing to confirm that torpedo running depth doesn't affect prematures, and I'll post my findings there once I'm done.
