It also means you sometimes can't get too close or you'll dud out due to the torp running too fast; a nice and slow approach takes a longer course to the target, hence it has a longer time to enable.

True, but with slow settings vessels could evaide the torpedoes more easily, depending on distance, weather and sea conditions obviously.

*You know how those feelings go. If you get more duds with one setting, and less with another, you'll go with the latter
O, and I use mag. on DDs, of course, but I try not to tackle with them.

I use magnetic sometimes but rarely, as for DD's, I have MK10's setup in aft torpedo room just for them
.
I only got to early '43 once
so I can't comment on dud percentages after that and never tried cuties or any other torpedoes.
