No, stock value is 220 meters arming...latest version had it set for irL of 450 yards ~ 411 meters.

When you say dud, do you mean it bounced off the hull without exploding (firing pin failure), or premature explosion PE (exploding too early, or late, or against the hull with no apparent damage)?

The game knows if it is going to be a PE or deep runner, just follow the camera and I too have seen PE explode on the other side of the ship! passing through...rare though.

--A PE usually goes off around 1000 yards. That close you may very well had them pass through the ship to PE, or even against the hull for no damage.

--80 degree would give you % failure rate of Pin causing a real no bang dud. CCIP Mod. 70 to 90 degree AOB shot is set for 75% Impact failure. So your results are quite expected with Mark 10 torpedo.

Mark 14 is set for 99%.
