Thanks to all for the answers, makes me feel better. Sounds like I just got frustrated like a real sub commander.

I tried all kinds of different angles (not 90 degrees, read that somewhere...) but no difference. Shooting distance was always between 800 and 1,500 yards and I always used the contact detonator.
I finished the patrol by now and of that 24 torpedoes only (!!!) 3 detonated but all torpedoes hit the target as the game gives you the message "...is a dud, sir."
If the torpedo misses you get the message that it missed. A freighter would not sink after 2 hours game time, so I wanted to give her the 'coup de grace' and fired 6 torpedoes at a stationery ship and none would explode. Finally finished her off with the deck gun.
