The "Myth" about torpedo depth settings.

Well, maybe that's true in the game, which is too bad, because in real life having the torpedo go off under the keel was a huge benefit.

Indeed but Im afraid the magnetic influence fuse is broken (as in does not work) making a beneath the keel shot impossible.

So were stuck with trying to poke holes in the ships side.

So when the hole appears under a vessel, its from the rise then fall of the ship making contact with the torp, rather than a magnetic fuse

Ideally hitting on the belt of a capital ship should have less effect. Such ships hit by US subs were very likely hit deep since that was their doctrine, shoot as deep as possible (even contact).

So that's more stuff Ubi either left out, or didn't do at all? I really wonder how much of this game is incomplete.

After seeing how this panned out, I'm not touching SH5 until it's been out for a long time.
