I play *full switch* man. I weathered the mk 14 nightmare fully, and yes, I have 600k tons with a mark 14 malfunction rate of somewhere between 60 and 80 percent. Still can't make it to the designated patrol zone 90% of the time now that they torpedoes have matured and actually work most of the time.

BTW, slow speed doesn't effect torpedo duds in tmo (it may or may not in FRB dunno), I did cheat a little and look at the file. TBH, I wasn't using slow settings anyways.
What the water is doing affect duds rate in TMO. I play 100% and do not bag that much. Maybe 3-4 ships per patrol. Sometimes none at all. I go for days without seeing ships specifically when using RSRD. I think RSRD is very good. Do you use the deck gun a lot? I never use it or use it very little. The reason is the deck gun was not the primary weapon and the subs did not bob around acting like battleships. But as ETR says, I play magnetic only until I hit the date it was offically switched to contact. That plays a part as well.
