I think that the primitive magnetic detonators are designed to detonate when they cross the invert threshold of a magnetic field, aka where N and S flip, thus telling it quite ovbiously that 'it's time to explode now'.

As for the topedo depth gauge I believe it's done in feet. But I've been getting crappy results with it, mostly due to the apparent futility of the early war magnetic detonators.

That and recently in anything other then my S-class career it seems that I have a higher then normal rate of 'drastic torpedo failures'...

I had one explode about 15 yards out of the tube and cripple the USS Drum's foreward torpedo tubes.
