Some test data with latest file. Interesting stuff. Agreement with
Camaero results.
Janurary, 1 1943 Mogami. set for about 20 feet. AOB 70 to 147 Mark 14 sea is calm. 1300 yd auto target.
2 - magnetic slow Miss deep
2 - magnetic slow Hit
2 - magnetic fast Premature explosion
1 - contact fast Dud bounce off hull
1 - contact fast Miss deep
1 - contact fast Hit
1 - magnetic fast Premature explosion
1 - magnetic fast Hit
4 hit out of 11 shot. 64% loss ratio.

Ran a bunch more impromptu.
It would seem that if you set for Magnetic, you will suffer more premature detonations than contact only. Worst weather, more premature explosions. However, you do not seem to suffer from the AOB firing pin not working malfunction. So if it gets to the ship, it will blow no matter what angle.
Running Contact setting it would seem you do not suffer from nearly as much premature detonation as the magnetic setting, however you will get AOB duds bouncing off the hull due to the firing pin malfunction. A nice gameplay trade off.
I notice I definetly have deep running torpedoes, even though the *.sim file says they should not occur until after March 31, 1943. :hmm:

From my tests I have not had one single gyro error!

I also had no gyro problems out about 60 fired.

Though had one circle runner. I used Auto Target maybe it removes all Gyro errors. Did
Egan use Manual target?
