You will get differing opinions from different Kaleuns. Magnetic pistol always for a down the throat shot at an charging escort. As Frau said above, trying to get as close to a 90-60 degree angle for an Impact pistol. A lesser AOB is where the Magnetic is better suited. Magnetic also comes in when attacking a convoy, ships of lesser importance usually get the outside picket positions, the juicier targets are on the inside. Their draft is usually a bit deeper than the lesser ships, bypassing those in hopes that the eels will bite the bigger targets.
Not sure if the magnetic's are as realistic in the Nord see as in real life. Cannot remember correctly if the cheerful psychopaths otherwise known as the GWX team
messed with it or its hard coded.
