Problem with mark 14 torps

I've read lots about this and complained about it plenty myself, but my conclusion in the end is that the torps seem pretty accurate. I've played mostly early war patrols and campaigns and was at first frustrated at the number of torps required to make certain kills. However as time has progressed I've realized perhaps its been easier to focus on the negatives. The five or so odd torps I've had explode early stick out alot more in my mind than those that functioned perfectly and did good damage. I've had plenty of issues with torps, but I've also had a few one shot kills on smaller ships and even taken down a FUSO with 2 shots that hit low on the keel. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I think it seems pretty realistic that you're gunna strike out more often than you're gunna hit a home run.
