Shots at less than 45° angle and slow speed settings here we come.
Hmmmm actually it was the opposite (In the 45º angle)

IIRC, it was found out during trials that the problem lied in that the torpedoes went deeper than expected (Not triggering the fuse) and when set shallower they magnetic fuse made them explode way too soon before reaching the target. Then, when shooting at right angles and high speed, the contact fuse actually got such a big hit that it bent and didn't trigger the explosive. Hence the better results with angled track and slow speed.

Anyway, looks like we are going to suffer a lot of frustration
