I'd take a load of 14's over a load of 10's any day.

Nope, they fail either way, about 30-50 percent dud rate. If you use influence setting, you'll get premature explosions, use the contact setting you'll get duds. The game does have several values for torps that help with the dud rate, water state, slow speed, impact angle, etc., so you can reduce the dud rate in your favor, but at best it may decrease dud rate about 10%. Simpy put, expect torp failures with the Mk 14 regardless until about mid 43. As a rule, in rough water use contact settings, in calm water use influence, try to shoot at some angle on slow settings and you're failure rate will decrease.....some.
