Dud Torpedo Percent

I'm getting about 50% duds, sometimes three duds in a row. They strike the hull of the ship, and just bounce off. I'm shooting typically from 1000 to 1500 meters out.

Is this failure rate to be expected? Or am I doing something to encourage this high failure rate? Thanks for the help. I hope they give me some shore leave after I flunk out of the Academy so I'll have time to have a chat with the folks building these precision German instruments of war.

Do u use magnetic pistol or impact?
If magnetic set torpedo depth 0,5-1m deeper then the keeldepth of the target is.
If using impact....be sure that the angle on bow is between 85° and 95°....best is 90°
