[TEC] Feedback on torpedo performance from TMO Update users

Just looking for your torpedo performance. I believe in first release they were too reliable and may be too unreliable now. I am testing a modified torpedo file on next patrol and believe have found balance. Just wanted feedback from others.

My last patrol I had 2/22 torpedoes work properl between premature explosions, duds, deeper runners, circle runners, and gyros with premature detonations being most common. I damaged two ships, but no sinking. Previous patrol I had same issue, sunk one by torpedo and one unarmed freighter on the way home with the deck gun.

Now, the limited tonnage sunk is realistic and like that torpedoes will have errors, just believe am getting way too many premature explosions, perhaps need to lower the premature chance slightly.

Just looking for thoughts, especially for those on patrol in 1941-late 42. Of course want to hear from any, as the detonator issues persist until Sept 1943 per history and entire war there is a chance of circle runs, gyro issues, and occasional torpedo running deeper than set, albeit a much lower chance.
