Why does my torpedoes bounce off target ships???

Playing GWX. There is no good way to sink speed boats.

They are too small and agile to hit with torpedos.
They are hard to hit with the deck gun, and the damage model baffles me a little (they can continue to harass you after a dozen 105mm hits).
They will die to flak, but probably not before shooting you up a bit.

Smaller means harder. Killing destroyers is easy (nail on the approach, or even by intuition if they circle), armed trawlers have a nicely rounded bottom, making magnetic torps less reliably lethal, speed boats are definitely better evaded than fought.
I'm just happy there are no armed rubber ducks.
