Turn off magnetic and shoot them so they hit the hull at a 'glancing blow' angle. 90 degree shots will fail more than glancing blows. Setting then to run shallower than you want will help as well, as they run deep.

Set them to slow speed, too. High speed was the original killer, as the detonator (used from the Mk10 which run slow and weigh less) was deformed on contact from the forces of the impact before doing his job. The game seems to simulate this really good.
My usual Mk14 runs slow, explodes on impact in a depth of 13ft (or less for DDs and small targets), hitting on a non-90° angle. I reach a dud rate of 1-3 out of 22 with that. |

Also,
Heavy seas, set to contact, calm seas influence. Still, they're broken torps to 43, so follow all advice, it will give you some increase...but not much. |

I take the Mk10's until mid 1943. Those Mk14's are a p.i.t.a!!!

Welcome to the simulated version of the torpedo debacle of the USN Sub Fleet.
If you dont want to deal with them, just turn off dud torpedos in the realism settings. Google Mark 14 torpedo, the whole dirty tale is there.Wonder US subs sank anything at all until mid war. |
