I recall the Tang had a bunch run really deep on one patrol... after a bunch of complete misses they saved four, I believe, and took them apart and actually fixed them. Reading that section and how O'Kane described torpedo assembly and it's flaws I realized that the SH IV method of "bad batches" of duds is probably pretty realistic... though extremely frustrating.

My personal worst was 10 fish at 5 different ships and only a single small hole in one of them. No clang! duds though.

That patrol was one of the prime reasons I switched to S-boats and still only load MArk 10s if I'm in anything esle!
