Bouncing Torpedoes

This is most annoying having found a CV,and sneaked by the destroyer screen and launch homing torpedos only to watch them hit and rebound without exploding.Yes they were fired at the correct range to..they are the second model homing torpedo..
Has anyone got a fix for this problem....

Are they hitting on or close to a 90 degree angle? And are you trying to fire within 300km's?

yes they either hit rear of ship or underneath middle..

Maybe it's the wrong forum

You don't need a mod

I've found this good tactic with the homing torpedo:you have to set their depth 1-1,5 metre under the keel of the intended target for a magnetic detonation.
For example:an Illustrious has a draft of 8,3,set your fish to 9,3-9,5 and go...

Naah,they are almost right

Trust me,i've tryed everything,at 1 metre the torpedo could still manage to hit the screw

Oh...sorry then...
My bad if i tryed to talk

I overreacted a bit,my bad

Everyone has it's modus operandi...and i have to admit that i lose some fish,because they pass too deep under the target
