I don't mind dud's but this is getting ridiculous..

FWIW, the RL failure rate was approaching 70%.

BTW, when CCIP started his "hardcore torpedo dud" mod (which makes them very much worse than stock, BTW

), some people had a problem where if they got 1 failure (usually a gyro angle problem), EVERY fish they fired that patrol had the problem. It could be that every so often random stuff ends up not random for a whole patrol...

One thing is that premature rates are very sensitive to the sea state. Were you shooting in marginal weather?

On the first mission I had bad weather, very bad weather... lots of rain and winds up to 15kts and big waves, very big waves... even my crew got sick.
Lost the frist 5 on that assault.

The now being 12 premature explosions (all but the stern torpedoes which I'm taking back for some testing in port) where all fired in calm seas (winds up to 3kts and clear sky's)
