Hi Vecko. I appreciate your answer, as always. I don't use magnetic pistons at all at that earl stage of the war. Patcher and snapshot were activated correctly, I have about 20 ships sunk, and finished Scapa Flow mission shortly before (5 hits at capital ships and all 5 eels exploded). It might be just extreme case of probable outcomes, but I have not had this problem attacking ship carrying British or Polish flags (I don't think I torpedoed any other nations' ship). Torpedo angle was 93*, 103* and about 100*, so I wouldn't call it too high. I have had dud's occasionally, but never 5 in a row.

That is why I wrote peculiar. I learned about this the hard way when I pressed space (lock target) while looking at some escort ship in Kiel :/.
With this French ship I tried locking her both from the deck and from the conning tower. There was no gun symbol and my crew did nothing.
I guess, I will try attacking some more French ships to confirm or disprove my early notion.
