Or is there another reason for this in RFB? I mean, sure, you are more on edge now but, seems an awful lot of duds...at least late 43.
Can't remember where I read it, but I thought the torpedo issue wasn't really ironed out until september of 1943. Just deactivating the mag detonator wouldn't fix the bad contact pins.
