$#%@%&*+ of torpedos!

My sympathies Rhodes. If it's any consolation, you're not alone with the torpedoes doing whatever they like and very little of what we would like them to do

Let's have a drink at the officers' mess and raise the glass to English engineers who have managed to actually make torpedoes that work, unlike the German or the American ones

I can only imagine what it feels like to have working torpedoes again. What I can't imagine is using the one torpedo, one ship tactic right now - nor using magnetic pistols

Rhodes, I feel your pain. I am running H.Sie's patch which models the 25% failure rate at the beginning of the war, and slowly reduces the % failure.

On several of the patrols I have had no torpedo impacts. Most of the time they run deep, but the few that run at the prescribed depth fail to detonate.

I have noticed that they tend to run deep or fail in rough seas. In calm and even light/moderate seas they do fine.
