Also, most of my shots were taken between between 45-70 degs AOB.

I've observed something similar to this. When using contact/influence, the dud rate seems to go down, especially on the 90 degree shots. The contact only duds are much more common but still not common enough to send me insane like it would a real skipper.





I'm also starting to believe that my stern tubes dud more often than bow tubes but it could just be random chance (7 of my last 7 stern shots were duds, but only a few of the 15 bow tubes I fired have been duds).
