Yes, you right.
I do not know if H.Sie modeled as the fix to omit the magnetic pistol defect when it is turned off in a torpedo.
From what I know, problems with the U-boat torpedoes the result of three reasons:
1) The lack of detonations after the torpedo hit the hull due to defects in the contact detonator.
2) Defective gyroscopic mechanism, which caused lower than expected immersion (torpedo sometimes flowed over the surface of the sea).
3) A premature detonation in a shallow submerged torpedoes or on the surface due to defects in the magnetic pistol.
In 1940, in case No. 1 there was no one simple solution.
In the case of No. 2 torpedo set for deeper immersion than it should.
In the case of No. 3 magnetic detonator switch off (even permanently).
With these solutions, the chance of attack failed because of problems with torpedoes was quite low.
