Early war torpedo failures?

Went to free cam, couldnt even see where the bubble trails were. Couple of minutes later all I hear a single explosion the distance... and the destroyer is still intact. No sign of the other two torpedoes either.

What gives? I'm playing GWX 3.0 so I was wondering if this malfunction was modeled in the game?

Single explosion means at least one of them hit something and bounced off to explode on the seabed. Harbour shots can be tricky...plenty of walls and corners, not to mention harbour nets for the torp to run into, even when you think you have a clear shot.
