Too many dud torpedos in OM - March 1940

[Akula4745]

Thanks lurker... a very interesting read.

This game has really opened my eyes to some of the history of WWII. I really get a kick out of the historical components like the torpedo failures (no matter how much I cuss at my monitor!)... its like learning/reliving history in the first person.

I read in another post (related to the pacific campaing, so might not be relevant) that you can get 50% less duds if setting torpedo speed to "slow"

is this valid for German steam torps?

also, were early war steam torps more reliable than electric?

thanks

I don't know the answer yet, kstanb... but next patrol I will be trying out the 37e model torps - just to see if the dud ratio is any better.
