I may have mis-spoke about the unit of measure, for the Americans it was yards. But even the SH2 manual says the optimum firing range is 2000 meters or less for early war torpedoes, and I just pulled out my SH1 manual, and it says 500 to 1000 yds was the preferred shooting distance. 500 to 750 ft is way too close. You never want to get that close to a DD. The torpedo wouldn't even have a chance to get to it's set running depth (should the game actually be that detailed. You must mean yards.

The SH1 manual also states the preferred depth setting for DDs is 6-8 ft. In PA the auto setting is over 10. I know that because I wanted to set it lower than what it was, but would have had to have gone full manual for that, and I'm just not good at manual targeting.
