And I have slowly come around to your view that magnetics work at about AOB 90, though your torpedo should be set to the slowest speed. And they do seem to cause the most damage at a much narrower angle. Difference in depth, though seems to be the most significant factor.
One thing players often forget is that all magnetics are ALSO impacts. By making the switch to impact, you take away (I am told) the dice roll that might lead your mag-set torpedo to prematurely explode. You also can do it a second before you launch, which is obviously not right.
I am sure some of the historians can offer advice here. For now, I set all tubes to magnetic, since I can use them either way, and take my chances on the prematures.
