I was not quoting history, just game play. I have found in the game that if you shot a dud it happens (to me) at 45 degree angles on both sides of the 90 degrees port or starbord. I'm not saying that your wrong about the U.S.N. torpedos I totaly aggree with you on the breaking of firing pins at 90 degrees. I just have, to this point never seen a 85 to 90 degree shot go bad for me. Of couse I using automatic targeting too.
I'm having issues with understanding manual targeting so I have not got up the guts to try it in a game. (and that's why I'm here)
I didn't mean to give out faulse information either, I still learing a lot about SH4.
