Reference the use of magnetic versus contact prior to 1943 it seems I have read in several sources that the early successful skippers (and this is what made them successful probably!) disregarded the standing orders, convinced of a problem with the magnetic fuse, and shot contact fuse only.
Some of the skippers went so far as to fudge their patrol reports which, in turn, made the problem more difficult for the higher-ups to diagnose as, "apparently the good skippers are not having a problem, it must be you" permeated widely.
So, for me, the switch should work and we should have the option as they did in real life.
