That´s exactly what i read about the so called torpedo crisis of the german KM.
Point 1) and 3) are already simulated by SH3, i think that works correcly.
hsie´s Fix simulates problem #2) and adds a premature rate for impact pistols and another premature rate for the magnetics ON TOP of the already existing rate, so it´s a mixture. But i never read about a premature problem of the magnetics. Does anyone have such information?
Problem #2) resulted of long term diving phases, in which the pressure measuring of the depth keeping apparatus failed. That was btw. exactly the same problem the american torpedoes later had.
Tests then showed a depth offset of 1 to 3m, so Dönitz ordered his commanders always to set depth 2m lower than under normal circumstances. This didn´t work either, so magnetic pistol was forbidden short time after.
