Am I going to have to put up with the duds, and perhaps reducing their number by trying off-90 degree shots, until I get a new boat or torpedoes (not that I know how that works - don't know how to choose armaments yet) in 1943?

I think it depends what mod you're playing. My experience with TMO so far yields a dud rate that seems to run around 20-33% per patrol, but sometimes lower. I have not played Traveller Mod, but the documentation says it's very high. It's been so long since I played vanilla SH4 that I don't remember what that rate is.
I don't think that aiming for glancing shots decreases the dud rate in game. At least I haven't seen that.
TMO's dud rate goes to zero in accord with the fixes the navy implemented in the summer of '43. Seems like all torpedoes loaded after June '43 fuze correctly.
You could always go into game options and just check the no duds box. The purists hereabouts disapprove, but hey it's your game.
