But from my own experience, and even from what I've seen in some of these topics, you can still get hits via contact.

So I want to know how many shots actually made contact before detonating.
The normal 'magnetic detonation radius' is set to 2 meters in stock SH4, so torpedos can get quite close to the ships and look like they're contacting, while still detonating via magnetic @ about 2 meters away.

In the test video, I specifically set the 'magnetic detonation radius' value to a highly exaggerated value of 50 meters so that there would be no question as to whether the torpedo actually touched the ship.

I've run dozens of tests like this, and not a single one of the 'contact' torpedos "got through" past the 50 meter mark and actually touched the ship. Every single one exploded at 50 meters.
