The magnetic pistol is disabled from 06/01/1943 as was historically correct. I was under the impression that the magnetic detonator was withdrawn totally and it’s use was not at the captain’s discretion?


I hope this helps.
From what I understand the detonators are set to impact only after a certin date and changing the selector switch does nothing. They may be set to trigger within 2 meters of the keel, problem is you cant turn the damn thing on.
