Torpedo failures

Hi Kaluens, Just had a crazy experience playing sh3 with gwx and h.sie patch with realistic torpedo's selected. I got a visual contact in my patrol box of a big lone ship which was a large merchant traveling at 7 knots. so i dove to peri depth and set up a perfect 90deg intersect and positioned myself perfectly. setup the tdc ok and set a salvo of 4 fish set at medium speed 7m depth with mag pistols. im using mag pistols as its sep 39 and the h.sie readme says impact have more failure chance early war. So i fire the salvo at her and I CANT BELIVE what happened

all 4 fish bounce of her hull and drop into the abyss. i was so annoyed

so i thought what the heck ive lost 4 fish i might aswell lose another and swung around for a stern shot and set it to 6m depth setup new distance quick and uped speed a little, fired and i couldnt belive it when i followed it with free cam and saw it was on track

it was heading right for her and then..... Passed about 5-10 meters under her hull

so i did a little research and already knew about the terrible results for the torpedos in the battle of narvik and early war and feel this may have been plausible, do you guys reckon my experience was realistic?, if so then h.sie has made a great mod although a little annoying lol.Did the Kaluen's of early ww2 have to actually put up with this becuase they must have been Very Peeved.I think the british should have given the makers of the early war german torpedo's a medal

what do you think?
