I am using the realistic torpedo option- but I don't think I've shot from over 1000 meters or had an impact angle less than 75 degrees, so maybe it's me not letting me have duds.
In 30256, Doenitz claims that 40% of missed shots can be accounted for due to torpedo failure- and I have had several instances when I was sure my firing data was correct and only saw one hit, so it seems as if that is behaving realistically. I play with external and event camera off, so it's a bit hard to verify if a torpedo has failed to explode or simply missed. However, out of 20 torpedoes I have fired in this career, around a third of them have been with magnetic fuses, and none have detonated prematurely, which I understand was the main problem with the early war magnetic fuse.
Any word on weather or not the G7a was equipped with a magnetic fuse, and was that fuse was more reliable than the one on the TII?
