In both cases I only use contact pistols. What's confusing in the torpedoes.sim file is the dud chance based on the torpedo's angle of impact - before it's fixed in late 1943, it apparently has a 99% dud chance with an impact angle between 41 and 110 degrees. If that were the case, I would expect close to zero successful impacts as all of my attacks have been conducted between those angles, but I've still had my fair share of merchant kills.

the type of ship makes no difference in the performance of the exploder.
with your hit rate using your angle of attack, i would buy a lottery ticket.
