Unable to get a detonation.

Hi folks. Awesome community. It's unbelievable how many dedicated folks there are helping improve this game. I'm new here and new to SH 5.

I'm running my first missions and trying to sink some merchant vessels off the coast of england. The trouble is that for that for nearly 12 hours and several dozen salvos every single shot is a dud.

I'm past the point of saying "early war torps were bad" and on the the point of saying "maybe this is a bug".

I am manually aiming. My torps hit the target every time but they all dud. I'm doing it from between 85 - 95 degrees and trying at every depth from 5 to 1 meter. But usually around 2.5 to 3.

I've fired maybe around 40 torps at different merchant vessels. The campaign is set to medium. I am using version 1.2

The only changes I have made are using the SH5.exe patcher from DarkWraith and set it up to use the snapshot from Sjizzle from here http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=205620

Any ideas what i'm doing wrong here? 20 hours of this is making me craaazzyyyy!

Thanks
