I've been experimenting with magnetic torpedo's a fair bit recently and found amazing success against smaller targets, yet against larger, better armoured targets it seems my magnetic torpedo's are producing even less damage than one with an impact pistol ran at the waterline.

another Q

With manual targetting enabled, can you use the skills of the weapon's officer and get him to find you a solution - what is the purpose of using the guy in the first place?
I use magnetics all the time (50%) I tend to set them to run .2m deeper than the ship, small ships tend to be obliterated. Large ships sometimes take two.
The only times I use impacts are when It's long range, or storming
I use my Weapons officer to identify ships from time to time, it saves me time in an attack since I usually know what kind of ship it is anyway
