What I try to say is the angle at impact.
I don't know, but I doubt it. In real life the Germans had a contact pistol that worked best with as direct a strike as possible. The American torpedoes had the problem that a direct strike could bend the firing pin and make it not work. I think that SH3 and SH4 have it correct, but while the U-boat add-on put the Germans back in, I don't think it changed the way it works in SH4.

I could be completely wrong on that.
