Especially in the Main Damage calculation formula. Note the following: It's only normal that % damage will do less damage "the lower the boss HP is"
 * If the result is less than 1, it becomes scratch damage, which does 6-14% of current target HP, rounded down (can be rounded to 0).

Also. Anchorage Water Demon is an installation boss. Torpedo stat is not calculated in the damage formula against installation bosses. So your DDs with WG42 are technically hitting like BBs without Type 3 shells, which is rather insignificant against higher armor installation bosses like AWD, therefore it becomes scratch damage

>"But my subs display a torpedo attack animation against AWD!" Yeah. That's an animation "bug". It still only takes your sub's incredible firepower stat into the damage calculation. Hence you're only going to get scratch damage at most which can be significant if the boss' HP is high since it's a % damage.

In regards to sending torpedo CI set ups against Installation bosses (lol) -> When they (Installation bosses) are targeted, torpedo special attack will not activate.
