Escorts Impervious to Torps?

[glilley]

Very strange. Playing TWoS for couple months now. Came across a convoy (Happy Times) with escort so saved game. Normally I shoot around escorts but the escort screen layout had a large gap between the starboard forward escort and the others on starboard side, so seeing opportunity to take out this escort would give me time/room plenty to make every torp count. Set my G7e to 1 meter and impact fuze and shot at escort at range 1300M. Torp approaches escort hull at nearly 90 deg AOB and passes right through hull for a miss (had event camera on). I reloaded game twice and achieved same setup with same result although last time I changed fuze to magnetic. Should I close in, engage with my deck gun and board 'em in the smoke?


Good news is my torp always ends up smacking a T2 oiler on the other side.
