[TEC] OM dud torpedo tips

[nionios]

Surely there's a huge problem with magnetic detonators but using impact at the right angle (90degs +/-10) and auto targeting, I've minimal failures and usually most ships sink immediately with the first hit.

While that's true, it's not exactly realistic. Early in the war they didn't have a switch, and couldn't turn the magnetic pistols on and off.

Still, if you want better results that's sometimes the way you have to go.

mmm do you have realistic duds activated? My ~70% dud rate is in those exact conditions :/ Maybe it's just a streak of bad luck.

Yes, I always play with realistic duds.
