When you open the Position Keeper/ Torpedo Settings tab you have the option of setting each torpedo to detonate by contact or contact+influence. Contact is pretty much self explanitory. When the torpedo strikes the hull of the target ship, it will detonate. Contact+influence setting has the torpedos detonate on contact as well as if they detect the magnetic field generated by the ships hull. This way a torpedo can be set to run a few feet below the ship and explode when directly under the keel. According to the manual this is the way to achieve maxium damage with a single torpedo, however it warns that when setting torpedos to contact+influence they may be less reliable.(IE. Premature detonations) Hope this helps.
