Historical Torpedo Failures v1.2 (Full Release Compatible)

!!!Requires a New Career Start!!!

I have completely reworked this mod after researching historical torpedo failure rates during the war and during testing trials. As I am limited with what I can modify using only the data sheet, this mod’s duds represent multiple historical failure types.

This mod aims to closely match historical performance with what can be modified without scripting or coding.

Historically there wasn’t “warming” of Torpedoes in the same way the game implements… Electrics were kept warm in the tubes and in storage, and Steam Torpedoes just needed preventative maintenance.

I've used the game’s warming action as a difficulty toggle between the full historical scale of dud percentages for cold torpedoes (10.5-36%) and an easier scale for warm torpedoes (8-27%).

Warming torpedoes will now also increase the impact angle allowance for a “Perfect Hit” which decreases the base dud chance by 25% with all torpedoes.

That being said, impact angles are now set to historical tolerances for their pistol types. Each pistol has a max tolerance angle and a perfect hit angle; anything outside the max tolerance angle will automatically be a dud, while anything inside the perfect hit angle will apply the 25% reduction to the dud chance of that torpedo.

Your accuracy will be the difference between having duds equal to or more than the highest historical percentages, or comparable to the lowest historical percentages. This is true regardless of which difficulty option you choose; playing with cold torpedoes or warming your torpedoes, your dud chances will still fall within historical performances.

The cooldown for warm torpedoes is now set to 7 days.

Torpedo Damage is still set to 5.

Torpedo Reloads still take 15 minutes before other modifiers.

Cold electric torpedo speed and distance reverted back to default values. (Could bring this option back if requested.)

Magnetic pistol values have been adjusted for testing purposes for this update. (Please leave feedback with your results if you use the magnetic pistols.)

Zielen Sie gerade und wahr, herr Kaleun, und viel Glück.

Summery of torpedo failures, reported by German sub commanders:

in 09.39 – 12.5 %
in 10.39 – 29.5 %
in 11.39 – 33.3 %
in 12.39 – 19.5 %
in 01.40 - 38.0 %
in 02.40 – 26.2 %
in 03.40 – 10.5 %
in 04.40 – 31.7 %
06.40 until 12.40 – 13.2 %

If the entire Torpedokrise was exclusively the result of technical problems in torpedo design, then one would
expect a fairly constant rate of failures amongst all front-line U-boats. Yet in his war log on
March 3, 1940, Dönitz wrote that premature detonations would flare up after lying dormant for a
while, and that it was “notable that premature detonations are far more numerous with some
boats than with others.”
Trompelt arrives at his premise that it was “Not the torpedoes that had [failed], but it was rather human error as a result of unconsidered special conditions.” These “unconsidered special conditions,” though never specifically defined, appear by and large to refer to what Trompelt perceives as the inadequate organization and technical
training given to U-boat officers as well as those responsible for the on-board care of the
torpedo, the Torpedomechanikers-Maat.
