In all reality when these acoustics were used in tests they worked great, out in the open sea they were not that great at all. Many misses.
I'm a big fan of impact torpedos. To me if I'm getting this close and risking my rearend, I want something firing that will probably do the job. I have never done well with the mag settings. Just a conserative kind of guy who likes the sure thing  |
The magnetic setting saved my butt: A Town class destroyer detected me and I was in a good position for a 0° angle (stern) shot. I released the eel (magnetic+ impact) but it didn't go under the keel but passed the destroyer on her starboard side. However the eel detonated and although I got a message that it was a dud the destroyer began to sink slowly. I guess the torpedo thought it was a fast moving magnetic mine.
