The in-game testing I've done (someone linked my previous thread where I posted my testing results) indicates that magnetic detonators are not working
at all. In my testing I systematically fired volleys of torpedos at a known target (Mogami Cruiser in the training mission) incrementing the depth setting downward 1 foot at a time to determine the maximum depth the torpedos would detonate.
I found that a volley of magnetic torpedos set to run just 1 foot below the depth at which a volley of contact torpedos scored 4/4 hits would consistently miss, every single time.
I'm planning on doing a lot more testing of all of this once patch 1.3 is out, but for now I think it's safe to say that the magnetic influence torpedos don't work as intended. I recommend using 'contact' settings and sparing yourself the premature detonations, since there's nothing to be gained by using magnetic at the moment.
