Going around in circles

I think you can reduce the circle runners if your torp firing solutions have little to no angle adjustments after leaving the tube. IE: A straight shot.

You should also be able to reduce the number of deep runners by confining your shots to between 500 and 800 yards. If they are mark 14, you should use slow speed (reduces chance firing pin will bend on impact) and always go for a straight shot. Shooting at short ranges such as these will also reduce the number of prematures due to the short run times to target. I never try for a magnetic shot and set torpedoes for impact and shallow (1/3 ships draft) dependending on sea state.
