What is more effective to use torps on impact or set it to magnetic and set depth just below the ship?

All depends on your angle to the ship
If you are as close to a 90 deg angle you can get +\- 15 deg then go for an impact shot
Anything outside of that I normally use a magnetic - try not to use the magnetics in rough weather as they tend to explode prematurely

i have the same issue with GW's, it took 4 torps to sink a c2 after a long long wait.

also have been unable to complete the academy mission for the deck gun, simply run out of ammo before being able to sink all the ships and yes every single shot was on/under the water line.

the only other irritation i have is the radio messages being in all capitals, it just bugs me.

Personally I would have done the academy before installing GW as it makes it harder to sink ships - and it says so too
As for the radio messages did not really notice all in caps - there was a thread in here recently about changing the text in the radio messages
Give the search a go

EDIT

Here it is

The wake problem is not only for my sub. All of the ships have the same, narrow, stupid wake.

Sub's wake looks normal to me...but you could shoot up some star shells to attract the attention of patrolling enemy planes....;)
