For impacts SHIII checks the geometry of the ship at the point of impact, compares it with historical data, and rolls a die.

For premature detonations SHIII checks the sea state and then rolls a die.

So basically if your shooting skills are very good - getting impacts only at 90 degrees impact angle, you won't suffer any duds.

This is probably historically quite correct.
Hmph. I suspected as much. Where did you get this information, BTW?
