With maintenance. Like adding a sine curve to dud chance that resets after ordering maintenance. More or less adding an automatic script to the menu folder. But not sure where to start. This is a bit abouve my level
This is a great idea. I'm no modder, but I wonder if one could reconfigure the "recharge torpedoes" special ability to be a more general "perform torpedo maintenance" kind of thing. It could reduce dud percentage for all torpedoes, while still affecting the speed of the G7e electrics.

It would also add a nice sense of realism, as Hans Goebeler mentions in Steel Boats, Iron Hearts that the crew had to perform constant maintenance on their torpedoes to keep them in working order. The late-war acoustic torpedoes were especially prone to serious malfunctions like sudden short-circuits and detonations if not cared for properly.
