Yep those are the best ways to get "booms" with the Mk.14s they had 3 problems
1. ran deep sometimes by 10 feet so you set to 10ft it really goes to 20ft so set them to 5ft or lower (in feet not depth)
2. The magnetic detanaotrs often failed best cure for this is to not use them this is what was done in the real war and in the end they removed that system compeletly
3. at certain strike angles the contact detnators crushed themselves failing to set of the torpex best way to solve this have dont have them hit at a dead 90 or even close to it.
That is why it took so long to fix the Mk.14s they had 3 problems and the running too deep helped hide the failure of the magnetic dets as they ran so deep how could you know that that also was crap?
Another cure is to use Mk.18s they dont have as many issues but they can still run deep sometimes and they have less range and less torpex 575lbs vs. 660lbs in a Mk14/23 and that makes a diffrence in RFB with its awsome ship damage system.
