A little background: of late I've been in the habit of reverting to T I (g7a/steam) torpedoes in late-war careers - ie anything starting from late '43 on - on the grounds that its tactical disadvantage of being visible is more than compensated for by its superior range; you can attack from 10km distant and be 100m+ below the surface before the escorts know you're there. Obviously you miss more often, but more importantly you live to fight another day. The T III, in game, forces you to attack from ≤5km, making attacks on convoys excessively risky.

A couple of days ago, however, I found myself perusing Wikipedia...and it states that the T III's range was actually 7.5km, a significant difference.

So...at long last, here's my question. Is there any way of editing the T III's range, or is it hardcoded in? All suggestions gratefully received :-)
