For those that are curious, (and since swdw is here) here are the torpdeo parameters currently being used for RFB:

Mark 10:
  • Circle-runner chance: 1.5%
  • Gyro angle chance: 1.5%, max angle of 50 degrees
  • Premature explosions: none
  • Depth-keeping error: 4 feet, 100% chance
  • Dud chance: 0-70 degrees: 2.5%. 70-90 degrees: 5%.
Mark 14/23:
  • Circle runner chance: 1% (to 7-31-1942); 0.5% (after 7-31-1942)
  • Gyro angle error: 1% percent chance, max angle of 50 degrees (same dates as circle runners), 0.5% chance after 7-31-1942.
  • Depth-keeping error: 8-15 feet, 100% chance (up to 7-31-1942)
  • Premature explosions: rough seas: 75%; moderate seas: 60%; light seas: 10% (up to the end of September 1943)
  • Duds: chance reduced by 50% when using low speed setting. Impact angle 0-35 degrees: 5% chance; 35-70 degrees: 35% chance; 70-90 degrees: 70% chance (up do 9-29-1943). These chances, after this date, will be scaled down in a future release (currently it's not possible).
  • Magnetic detonation range: 5 feet. This, combined with the depth keeping errors, makes a successful magnetic hit very difficult, especially when targeting shallow-draft ships. Magnetic detonator is disabled at the end of September 1943.
