clayton i have damage slider all the way up!! and I just tried to sink another freighter--this time 3 torps into the side at 90 AOB. no damage visible except flames on the deck--no holes though--it seems odd that dud torpedoes would cause damage on the deck of the ship and not penetrate the hull...anyways i hope this is not yet another bug--how many other people have experienced similar situations?? I am in 41 just started a career--1st patrol.

possibly found out a "solution": I fired another fish at shallow depth--as shallow as I could put the dial...and set to contact detonator. This one penetrated the hull--all of the other torps were set to contact influence and set to 5 or more depth. Also whether is rough--15m/s winds. maybe this has something to do with it. All the torps which hit and penetrated the hull were at the shallowest setting and possible all on contact detonator as well--I'lll keep ecperimenting but if anyone else notices this pattern post..
