Hi E
They are called duds, and there were plent of them early in the war.
Magnetic fuses were very unreliable especially on the G7e torpedoes and in the game they will often detonate before they reach the target.
Sometimes it can pay to hit the target at less than 90 degrees so there is not a direct severe impact.
