The dud chances for contact pistols on mk14s at the right angles (right angles, basically, lol) were very very high.
Run depth errors should also be 100%. Their run depth was calibrated wrong, so they always ran deep. The only way they'd run at the right depth was if they had a mistake and ran shallow as an error. Because player know this, I'd make the magnitude higher than RL. I bet the majority of mk14 "duds" were deep runners since they ALL ran 10-12 feet deep. The skippers used pre-war doctrine and set the depth below the keel, then you subtract another 10-12 feet and every fish misses unless it fails and runs SHALLOW, lol.
One thing regarding the mag pistol, ducimus: I can't recall the radius it functions at. 1.5m? USN doctrine was to put the fish 10+ feet below the keel. One way to get this in game would be to increase the radius that the detonator is effective to maybe 3.5m, then increase the failure rate. It'd be a reason to shoot them under the keel, but it would be hard given the depth errors.
