The Germans had to deal with more than an "ocasional dud". They just corrected their many torp problems sooner. |
Actually, they didn't correct it any sooner. German magnetic pistols were withdrawn from service in 1940, and not reinstated until December 1942.

HMS Nelson escaped distaster on October 30, 1939 when three impact-fused torpedoes fired by U-56 all failed to explode.
Personally I welcome the prospect of massive failures, mainly because I like to role-play more than I like to game. I wish SHIII had the same realism levels.
