Most people at the Academy stage have been "taught," either by the "manual" or the tutorial, that shots should be made at an AOB of 90. If you are trying to do that, then your magnetic shots will tend to fail because the torpedo doesn't have enough time to sense the magnetic anomaly and detonate (or if it does, it does so harmlessly on the other side).
So if you are trying 90 AOB, you need to bring your torpedo depth up to 1-2 meters below the waterline so that your torp makes physical impact.
If you do want to use magnetics -- and I almost always do in flat seas -- then keep your depth 1 m below keel, but use an AOB of 10-45/135-170.
