Another question about duds, are they more likely when targeting warships than merchants? Because in spite of them, I've witnessed a decent number of successful impacts against merchants, while I've fired dozens of torpedoes at warships by now and all of them have been duds. In both cases I only use contact pistols. What's confusing in the torpedoes.sim file is the dud chance based on the torpedo's angle of impact - before it's fixed in late 1943, it apparently has a 99% dud chance with an impact angle between 41 and 110 degrees. If that were the case, I would expect close to zero successful impacts as all of my attacks have been conducted between those angles, but I've still had my fair share of merchant kills.
