Well they modeled it well in the game!

Last Mission I fired at 2 ships before I remembered the story of the MK-14.

I thought odd that thing still had a ways to go before detonation.

Next ship was a large one so I fired 4 torpedo's, 2 detonated prematurely.

Then the light in my brain came on and I remembered the Magnetic influence exploder malfunctioning story I read in history.

I went back the Wiki page and it never really said if or when they fixed it.

Just that Admiral Nimitz ordered all the Magnetic influence exploders to be deactivated!

I have since turn mine to contact only.

I will give the game kudos for putting real history in the game!
