Contact/influence (or magnetic) means that both pistol types are active. it will explode on contact, OR by magnetic field. Also remember your dealing with feet with the imperial system, not so much as meters. US specs for various settings were in feet. 5 meters is entirely too deep, that's roughly 15 feet, and the torpedo would under run the target. 1 to 2 meters is what your looking for ( 3 to 6 feet)

I wasn't aware of the horrible torpedo efficiency, and the fact that it was not accurate in SHIII.

Oh yes, it's one of the greatest scandals in the history of warfare. Wiki page if your interested:

Main difference is the germans weren't mired in buearcratic BS and got the problem solved much quicker:

Is there acoustic torpedoes in this game?(I assume not..).

You assume much.
The
US acoustic homing torpedo (scroll down to "mark 27") was based on a nasty ASW weapon used during the war that
does not appear in SH3.
