Also, whats the diff. between Magnetic and Impact detonations?
Well a impact detonator uses a pistol at the fron of the torpedo to set it off. It hits -> goes BOOM
A magnetic detonator set off when theres a huge magnetic field in proxemity. Tho utilize this set the torpedoes running depth to app. 1 meter below the ships draft. Then the torpedo when run strait under the ship and explode just beneath the keel, thus breaking the ships back.
Magnetic also has the advantage that you dont need to hit the ship at a 90 degrees angel.

Note that you should only use magnetic in calm weather.
Also note that eventhough you choose magnetic, it will still have a impact detonator.
