On detonation, the damage radius is determined - and that often puts the target outside the damage area - result - minimal or no damage.

Try using contact torps and see if your results improve.
II'll try it. But I doubt it will work because in my other carreer, I always left it at influence and never had a torp that didn't cause visual damage once.
