excessive duds

zylark · 04-20-08, 05:11 PM

I've had my share of duds in my 3 U-boat patrols so far, but not to excess. And for some reason it only seems to happen if I try for contact hit, rather than under the keel magnetic fuse. Except for the homing torpedoes, they seem to work perfect in both modes.

I've also had one fish gyro act up and run around in circles after launch. I thought that was a unique problem of US torpedoes? Not applicable to german torpedoes?

But all in all, I'd say some 75-80% of under the keel shots end in a hit in my experience (Presuming I did not miss the target). My biggest worry is premature detonations, not whether or not it will go off when on target.

(Oh, running TMO and RSRD)
