Torps exploding in bad weather
I have a real problem with torps exploding well before target in bad weather. I don't mind the odd one or shallow running torps but even with depths of 12m they are exploding within 100m of me at times.
Are there any ways to counter this or make it more infrequent other than simply not attacking in bad weather. Stix |

Set the torpedo pistol to impact.
Don't change back to magnetic until at least 1942. That will solve 90% of premature detonations. |

Ahhh cheers guys, i use a mixture of impact and magnetic. I hadn't realised it was the magnetics blowing up early.
Damn that means i've actually got to setup properly for all my shots in bad weather

You could also have 'dud torpedos' ticked in your options page

  U-boats generally couldn't attack in very poor weather anyways.

The real U-boats also had that option to use impact only, BdU has ordered to do so after the wave of torpedo failures demoralizing many submariners... |

How did they apply that option. Is there a photo of how this was done?
Some US captain had their torpedo chiefs disable the magnetic pistol, but this was a time-consuming process.
