Worried about torpedo impact sensitivity

[PAW]

Dunno if you guys have seen that long interview with the dev team yet but i swear in one of the shots i saw a torpedo hit the side of a ship at an angle of approx 5 -10 degrees and the torpedo detonated. I wasn't sure if it was a magnetic or impact but from GWX mod (and yes i know they were german torpedoes) if i tried using impact pistols at any angle below 30 degrees i could be sure that they'd just bounce.

I worried that the torpedoes might have too high a sensitivity.

But hey! if it's a magnetic goin under the ship, then mayb there's no need for worry

Didn't that video show the Battle of Samar? The Mk 14 should detonate 95% of the time at any angle by that time.

Very true - and that was in October of '44 - more than a year after all issues were identified and fixed.

plus the magnetic exploders where all hand crafted for each individuel torpedo and there for parts could not be swopet easaly if thay where found to be folty, also the magnettic exploders where also "configured" for the magnetic feald at the torpedo factorys and thay where not alowed to "ajust" them any where from the factory's to theme hitting the targets, which wood have corsed a huge ammount of the prematures that where incounted after fireing.
