Minesweepers have a V-E-R-Y shallow draft, probably less than 3'. (American) Minesweepers were made of wood so the magnetic influence exploders on mines wouldn't set them off. Probably the same for the IJN. Your torpedoes can't be set for less than 3' (at least mine can't), so they will always run under a Minesweeper.
SubChasers have enough draft to get hit by a torpedo. I've sunk a couple with torps. You have to be real close, cause they zig-zag a lot.
Unless you want to get into a cannon battle, leave the Minesweepers alone.
