I'll try to translate:

Is grouped under the name "duds torpedoes" all of the dysfunctional American torpedoes reproduced in SH4 game.
I give you below an overview of these defects knowing that MODs proposed by one, here and there can bring different values, one way or the other. But generally, these are just some adjustments.

In what follows, the abbreviation stands for the percentage of misfire is "PoM"

Mk-10 torpedo:
  • Incidence angle at impact between 0 and 70 °: PoM 1%
  • Incidence angle at impact between 70 and 90 °: PoM 25%
  • Loss of path: PoM 0.5%
  • Gyroscopic deviation until April 30, 1942: PoM 0.3%
  • Gyroscopic deviation after April 30, 1942: PoM 0.2%
  • Depth of transit. Deviation between 0.8 and 1.2 m to April 30, 1942: PoM 70%

Mk-14 torpedo:
Defects until June,1 1943
  • Incidence angle at impact between 0 and 35 °: PoM 1%
  • Incidence angle at impact between 35 and 70 °: PoM 34%
  • Incidence angle at impact between 70 and 90 °: PoM 99%
  • Loss of path: PoM 0.5%
  • Gyroscopic deviation until April 30, 1942: PoM 0.3%
  • Gyroscopic deviation after April 30, 1942: PoM 0.2%
  • Depth of transit. Deviation between 0.8 and 1.2 m to April 30, 1942: PoM 70%
  • Loss of speed to 34 knots: PoM 50%
  • Explosion premature trajectory. Son max = 40: PoM 60%
  • Explosion premature trajectory. Son max = 10: PoM 30%
  • Explosion premature trajectory. Son max = 5: PoM 2%

Mk-16 torpedo:
No defect prohibitive.

Mk-18 torpedo:

Defects until June 1, 1943
  • Incidence angle at impact between 0 and 35 °: PoM 1%
  • Incidence angle at impact between 35 and 70 °: PoM 34%
  • Incidence angle at impact between 70 and 90 °: PoM 99%
  • Loss of path: PoM 0.5%
  • Gyroscopic deviation until April 30, 1942: PoM 0.3%
  • Gyroscopic deviation after April 30, 1942: PoM 0.2%
  • Depth of transit. Deviation between 1.2 and 2.8 m to December 31, 1943: PoM 55%
  • Loss of speed to 34 knots: PoM 50%
  • Explosion premature trajectory. Son max = 40: PoM 60%
  • Explosion premature trajectory. Son max = 10: PoM 30%
  • Explosion premature trajectory. Son max = 5: PoM 2%

Mk-23 torpedo:
Defects until June 1, 1943
  • Incidence angle at impact between 0 and 35 °: PoM 1%
  • Incidence angle at impact between 35 and 70 °: PoM 34%
  • Incidence angle at impact between 70 and 90 °: PoM 99%
  • Loss of path: PoM 0.5%
  • Gyroscopic deviation until April 30, 1942: PoM 0.3%
  • Gyroscopic deviation after April 30, 1942: PoM 0.2%
  • Depth of transit. Deviation between 1.5 and 3.3 m to March 31, 1943: PoM 70%
  • Loss of speed to 34 knots: PoM 50%
  • Explosion premature trajectory. Son max = 40: PoM 60%
  • Explosion premature trajectory. Son max = 10: PoM 30%
  • Explosion premature trajectory. Son max = 5: PoM 2%
