Default not quite

not really more performance oriented.
just don't want 60% off em to be duds/bad.
1 in 10
or so would be acceptable fail rate.

As far as I know there are no mods for what you're looking for. What you're looking for has to be done to certain files ingame.

Holliwood, before Sept 1943 set your Mk 14s to contact only and fire them on the slow speed setting. Also aim 12 feet shallower than you otherwise would. So when firing at a ship with a 20 ft draft you should aim above 8 feet. This should get you the best success rate from them.

The reason is that it avoids the 3 primary issues that plagued the Mk 14, the faulty magnetic exploder, the firing pin being bent with high speed impacts, and the torpedo running deeper than set.

How about this?



Slightly Subnuclear Mark 14 and Cutie Torpedoes. The challenge is not getting close enough to join your victim in annihilation. Call it a realism mod!
