Actually the desk mod mentioned here by Moonlight did the trick. It also describes DG, sonar, radar, etc....
I just finished shakedown of my boat, a brand new USS Balao, a Balao class boat. She's the best in my opinion. After a bit of metal squeaking at 164 meters, she still had her hull intact. I removed all the Mark 14s and replaced them with Mark 28 eels. Its so much better, and no duds encountered so far, maybe because one of my boys got the eel ability, so he exponentiates damage and range, and still the eel is somewhat accurate. I got 2 LOPCs using solely, the Mark 28. I will upload the vid along with another dead on encounter with an unsuspecting merchant, whom I went head on to his path, got underhim, the blew ballast and let my aft DG do its magic, the poor guy didnt know what hit him..

Isnt that the acclaimed BuOrd? And I wonder why they would do this to folks going out with contemporary,at-the-time expensive boats? Someone obviously works for ze Japanese

Doe's get a little dangerous with mods like TMO, when the enemy has radar, don't pay attention a DD will run right up your baffle, so helps to make small turns to clear baffles and follow nearest warship on sonar and do radar checks so often.
Really fun getting in the middle of a 40 ship convoy and letting lose with torps and the DG...

I cant wind up in the middle of 40 ships and not expect a swift CTD by my less reliable system. I'm currently collecting the crumbs off Formosa, Solomons, and Honiara... I'm also after task forces with the aim of getting the last piece of the puzzle - the Navy Cross.
