Same thing if the ship is coming straight to you. The angle is bad and you will most likely miss.
Once magnetic's become more reliable they're you're ticket to 1 hit kills on nearly every kind of ship, even BB's. Magnetic settings are the most forgiving in that they can still sink a ship with 1 eel at a 30 degree AOB or hitting the ships "sweet spot". Even the mighty Hood can go down with 1 well placed magnetic hit to the boilers, CV's are even easier; aim at the aircraft elevators and a solid hit will usually bag you a flat top
