I usually have quite a few duds when I set the torps to deep with impact pistols, even at 90 degrees, as they just bounce of the bottom of the hull. I prefer to run torps at low speed, reducing the chance of faulty pistols or prematures. Either I use magnetic (but they often run to deep) or with impact pistols set them relatively shallow (at no more than 1/2 the draft, less with warships). Duds are so annoying, especially when you see a big BB sail by. *** klunk *** Torpedo is a dud, sir! arrrghhh...
