Much like real life skippers, prior to September/October 1943, its a crap shoot on whether you get a dud or not. Low speed setting does reduce chances slightly due to less speed at impact. Also, trying firing so the torpedoes impact at an angle of 45 degrees or less. These "glancing" blows reduce dud chances as well, as did in real life, but can be difficult to get set up for these shots and less likely to hit since aiming not at the ships broadside. However, you will still get duds no matter what you do.
