I'd like it if the Mark XIV problems were corrected in stages - as they were historically. Have the option to disable the magnetic exploder first, then a few months later get improved magnetic exploders only to discover that the contact exploder is still faulty, etc.
The Mark XIV was probably the single worst weapon ever fielded (well, except for that French machine gun we were issued in WWI) by the U.S. until its multiple failures got sorted out. That didn't happen overnight or all at once, so yeah I'd like to see faulty torpedoes, too, as well as a fairly realistic period of time for improving them.

For tonight we'll merry, merry be,
But tomorrow we'll be sober.
