I'll try and find the chart.
Myself, I carry about 50% M10's early war, mostly because of this.

Good story on the link.
Now I'm thinking I should keep my S boat. I mean, after all, it's not
that rusty. My crew thinks I'm nuts.
On a more serious note, I read somewhere, that the mechanical elements of the mk 6 exploder were derived from that used with the Mk 10 torpedo. This
suggests, but does not prove, that at low speed, the Mk 14 should be as reliable as the Mk 10 (as far as impact detonation is concerned). Unfortunately, no diagrams or photos of the exploders were provided.
An 80% impact failure rate is not very good, by any standard. It still amazes me that the US Bureau of Ordnance, could be so obstanately stupid.
