Premature explosions - happened IRL during the war, especially in the initial years

If a torpedo detonates at the "wrong" time, it is not considered a dud, but a malfunction. Not that this makes any practical difference. But that's why they are not reported as duds.

Seems to happen more with steam torps as oppsed to electric ones. I tend to set the speed no more than medium and use impact pistols on steam torps but they still go sometimes.

The cure for premature explosions. Reset torp from influence to contact. Also for contact reset torp depth to run shallow since they also had a problem of running to deep.
