Is there anything more frustrating...

Duds suck. Period. Four-in-a-row however, is albeit odd. I suspect your AOB was either less than 85 degrees or more than 95. Once out of the +/- 5 degree window, the dud rate goes up exponentially. Likewise, certain torpedoes (Type II-Early War) were notoriously faulty. Since U Crank beat me to the "Official Silent Hunter Slogan", I won't repeat it. However, the only thing you could have done is avoid any spooked escorts and follow the tankers outside visual range and hopefully overtake them on the surface at night to try again with four fresh fish.
