I considered several sources but couldnt get my hands on any of the books in a short space of time. I find it interesting that you have also observed the way the problems with the exploder were clearly described but after diagnosis it gets unclear how exactly these were resolved. The depth running is the least mentioned solution.
The mk 15 would have had the same dud rate as the mk 14 I suspect since they are only a surface ship variant of the mk 14. Both used the mk6 exploder. Furthermore it was Kinkaid that gave the all encompassing order to stop using them and he was a surface fleet guy right?
I am using RFB which seems to have a simple sept 43 switch to flawless torps. I wont alter the files (but I might take your alterations if you want to share) I will just discipline myself to fire them the way that matches the historical settings for the given time period. So after Sept 43 it will be contact hits only for me with no firing shallow consideration.
