So with magnetic torpedoes you're supposed to actually aim under the hull. My question is how do you know this distance for sure? I mean I look in the recognition manual and identify the ship, but do one of those numbers tell you how far below the waterline the hull is? I always just look at the picture and try to estimate how manymeters below it is.

Also, I tend to leave my T1s on impact and magnetic. I've had cases of aiming a little too low and the torpedo passing underneath. How come it doesn't explode? I assumed I was just doing it wrong.
