I hope this will be an option and not forced into the mod. Even though your data is accurate, I don't believe the US sub Captains assumed that one out of every three torpedos they fired would be a dud.....nor that two out of every five would explode prematurely. Was it a possibility? Sure, but they could equally fire ten torps with no problems at all and then fire five and have two duds.

This is a can of worms not worth opening in my view.
