Torpedo attack

I think the higher you are the slower you need to be going to drop a torpedo. I did a test on torpedos (was a long time ago, may not still be valid) and the following situations worked.
 
Plane used: TBM
Speed: 450
Alt: less tham 50ft

Plane used: TBM
Speed: 300
Alt: 200ft

Plane used: TBM
Speed: 200
Alt: 400ft

Plane used: TBM
Speed: 150
Alt: 600ft

Plane used: B5N
Speed: 100
Alt: 1000ft

I think it was dependent on speed and alt. So the lower you are flying the faster you can drop.

Basically, my drop alt is ALWAYS <100 feet. My problem is, my speed picks up to around 225-250. Would you guess thats safe?

Only one way to find out.
Who are you to wave your finger?
