Yeah with strong winds there's a high chance of premature detonations. The problem seems to be gone though if you disable the magnetic detonators.
I personally never have had a premature explosion with only contact detonation enabled (the dud chance is much higher though)

The SD radar is an air search radar antenna.

Thanks :)

Yes in rough seas use impact fuses as the rough seas tend to set of the magnetic prematurely.

Just dont forget to set the torps to a shallow depth.

Furthermore try not to strike the target at 90 degrees, a slight offset angle is better. There is another 'defect' in the fuses in that if the torp strikes the target at or near 90 degrees the fuse simply crushes without detonation.

Always have been hitting at a 90 degree angle, everything has gone off so far.

Oh, and who more then me ends there careers if they die? as in not loading a save or such. Done about 14 careers since Friday, died on the first one all the time cause of pesky aircraft or whatnot :p

About the gramophone, does Destroyers have an easier time detecting you with it on?

there is a thread on this. The consesus was yes it does.

Well, guess the crew of the destroyer was amused by the good music then.
