so whats the REAL question?
is it the most duds you ever had or the most torpedos that exploded on target but the ship still didnt sink?
as for duds there are times when every torpedo is a dud and sometimes you go almost a whole career without having to experience a dud, thats just a successfull randomization of the game engine that makes things unpredictable and more fun because of it.
with torpedos that hit and explode on target, the time between shots matters a lot.
i have tested extensively to find a ship that sinks with 3 or 4 torpedos in rapid succession will take 5 or 6 or more torps to sink if you fire one at a time then wait for a result so as to have a minute or two between each shot. the reason is the ship seams to self repair a small portion of damage or repeated damage gets multiplied (i never really figured out why) but the result is you dont want to try saving torps by waiting to only use another if needed because doing so will make you need to fire more torps in the long run so just fire enough the first time to be sure you get the kill
