Torpedo running Depth?

Penelope, Brag: Good reading, thanks!

My SOP is as follows:

Magnetic pistol is set to 1.0-1.5m depth below maximum draught keel placement. Unreliability of magnetic pistols means I guesstimate where the outer bulkhead of a given compartment is (IE: Engine Spaces, Fuel Bunkerage, etc) and try to set the torpedo to impact the target at that point and blow that bulkhead across the compartment.

Identification books come in handy since the height "grid" gives you excellent reference as to below-designed-waterline depths. Especially useful combined with that mod that highlights the target's "sweet spots."
