I just completed a patrol August 15-October 9, 1943 and no duds with MK 14 entire time, supposed to get a lot of duds after magnetic detonator is disabled in June 43 until late September 43, but ten torpedoes fired(other eight fired on patrol were new MK 18, all of which ran deep, even at minimum depth settings) were MK 14, no one dud and all hit at broad angles. Wondering if it was a fluke or if need to do some adjustment.
As in real life... skippers in the latter stages, did have times when they had... a good or as good as was humanly possible, considering... fortune of having a good batch of torps. As they did have some times when they'd have torps go off, as they were supposed to. Granted not all the times...

Would hold back on looking at poking about in the guts, just yet... wait until after say at base minimum, 1 more patrol... better still... 2 more past that last patrol.

As for the time frame, can't say... haven't gotten that far yet & won;t be, for a bit yet.

Am in an emergency situation right nw... My Dell desktop, is in death throes... & am struggling to get what is needed, to do a snatch & grab.. of important files & folders off the HD, before it dies entirely.

My only saving grace is.. I have a 2nd tower, just need to see of getting it prepped & ready for taking the place of My dying Dell tower...

Have an external HD on the way... to do the snatch & grab. Then, is only the process of getting the other tower prepped to take the place of the Dell.

So, am gonna be on silent running for a bit... until I can get that done.

I liken the Dell, to losing a sub to depth charges...

Hopefully, won't take long to get things set up & rolling... until then...

Fair winds, smooth seas &... Good huntin'.
