I'm wondering if it is an artifact of the dud torpedo simulation. I use Imperial and mostly play in the early war period. I often followed the computer track on the attack navagatin map when I was learning to play the game. Virtually every time I have set a depth equal to or greater than the keel, with a magnetic setting, the torpedo can be seen emerging from the far side of the target and continuing merrily on its way.
I only use contact fuses now and generally set the depth at least 5 feet above the keel. In rough weather I use the default depth setting.
