Yeah, lots of duds for me to. Just tonight I had one that was straight on and it just bounced off the hull. Also in SHIII if you fired at wrong angle your chances for duds go up dramatically.

The duds for American subs behaved different than the German torps. In the case of American torps you should avoid perpendicular impacts...if the devs did it right.

I'd guess some impact angle around 45-75 deg would be good...but thats just a guess.

Don't forget they also ran much deeper than set, too!
