What was the weather like? Any waves? Setting the torps too shallow even in light waves can cause failure.
There are torpedo nets in Scapa Flow!

I think distance, at least for the electric ones, could very well explain it. As for the other 2 (or rather 4 with the reload), well it isn't too unheard of, just rotten luck. It was that all 8 would be duds that had me fuming. Funny enough, the one aft torpedo I used to get a clear entry to S.F. worked wonderfully, no dud there. Electric, that one.
The weather was brilliant, calm sea, clear view of all ships at more than 13 km. I didn't know about the nets though! Thanks tons. That complicates things even further!
Of well, I think right now I can let this rest for the time being. Distance exceeding the range of the electric eel, 4 duds in total, nets, bad German design, it adds up to something plausible.
