I was wondering bout that too. When shooting along keel but not exactly under it the torp should explode or even explodes (can't remember) as there is loads of steel above it. But when shooting at 60-90° it will bounce. Wired.
On my last patrol I've used impact as it was heavy sea. This time as I was targeting only biggest fishes I've left default depth setting and sunk 160m Whale? ship with one hit under the bridge in the middle, modern tanker with my standard stern one top kill, 2 liberty required 2 torps each as those were not my best shots. 35 000 from one convoy in realtime play. Head home as we were one month at sea.
Conclusion? I'll use impacts now, less work with figuring depth and waves height as in recon manual there are 2 keel depths for instance...
