I don't get any duds!?

I have the vanilla SH4 1.5 and realism is at 80% (external views on, map updates on). The torpedo failure is set to realistic.
But anyway, in months of playing, i've never get any dud torpedo. Crappy detonators, premature explosion, bad depth... Almost always i fire the torpedoes at a 90º angle from the target and i set them at 0 depth, impact fuze...

I wonder if the year also has something to do with it ?

Maybe an S boat. Those Mk 10's were pretty handy

If you really want some duds get TMO you will have more than enough.In fact if you load up TMO you will come back asking why there are so many duds.Most people do.

In the stock game as well as in TMO and RFB, what is the likelyhood of getting duds using Mk 10's.

Is it closer to zero or closer to the Mk 14 POS?

The Mk.10s are close 100% going go bang aginst your target.Even the duddy mk.14s you can reduce the fails by setting them very shallow setting them for low speed and not using mag det and fire at as far from 90 AOB as you can they work much better that way well at least if you fire 6 then 3 will prob work.Other times they are craptastic hey at least your life isnt really depending on them.
