Unreliable in what way?

The depth-keeping is perfect, despite what the game "says". If fitted with magnetic/impacts, they don't blow up prematurely any more than the TIs do.

The propulsion method has nothing to do with the detonation method. If you are worried about premature detonations, then don't use the magnetic/impact pistol. It has nothing to do with your choice of propulsion.

I use pretty much nothing but electrics early in the war. I keep one steamer on hand for speedy snapshots from behind a target, but otherwise we run electric on my boat.
