[QUOTE=commandosolo2009;1580944]dude, the duds are normal and skippers had their share of it after so much time spent tracking and tdc'ing gyros.. If you dont want them turn them off. But you look like the realistic kind, so, bear with them till 1943

Whom are you referring to as "dude?" I hope you are not referring to me, as I, and many others, knew about the history of defective American torpedoes long before I started the thread, which was obvious as my post concluded with a "warning" to others lacking such knowlege or experience. Further, I never implied or stated that "I don't want them," as you term it, presumably meanng that I was unhappy with the high percentage of dud torpedoes.

As I predicted when I started the thread, a skipper not familiar with the issue posted a response. There is nothing better than a factual history of an attack scenario to make a point, which is how I intended to proceed.

The high ratio of duds reveals something else. My crew has learned how to hit their targets.
