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  |
Maybe I got it wrong...

After reading some new information about problems with the Mark 10 and Mark 14, a couple of new "features" will be in the next patch release:
-Mark 10 torpedoes will always run 4 feet too deep until the end of January 1942. After that date they will always run between 0 and 4 feet too deep.
-Mark 14/23 torpedoes will always run 10-11 feet too deep up until 11 September 1942. After that date they will always run between 0-3 feet too deep.
-Mark 14/23 torpedoes will have a 100% failure rate when contacting a target at or near a 90-degree track, up until the end of September 1943 (that failure rate chance is cut in half when striking the target at a roughly 45-degree track). After that date the dud chance drops to a very small number. The chance of a dud being reduced by 50% when using the low-speed setting remains the same.

Yes I did.
Near the 45° track, not less than.
