I ran a simulation for torpedo dud's.

I made 200 attacks at directly 90 degrees. I discounted any attack that wasn't directly 90 degrees. I had a 24% dud rate. Almost quarter of my attacks were dud's

For the next run I made 200 attacks at 85 degrees, again discounting any attack that wasn't directly 85 degrees. My dud rate was 15%.

I did the same run at 95 degrees. My dud rate was 16%.

Changing the angle of attack by 5 degrees reduced my dud rate by almost 10%. I no longer make attack's at 90% when at all possible.
