I honestly have never been able to see, nor undersstand, all the hoopla around the pistol switch. *shrug*
edit: but the reason i woudlnt doubt if its by design is because while the magnetic pistol is active, the torpedo is subseptiable to premature explosions. The rougher the sea, the greater the chance. Setting the pistol to impact, removes the chance of a premature entirely. ANyone who's played SH3 for any length of time knows this. But theres also the historical aspect to consider, did real skippers get the choice? I have a feeling the answer is no. They werent allowed to touch Beauro of ordinance's precious exploders or someone from higher up would have a tissy fit as i understand it.
