Hee hee, if SH4 simulated the magnetic detonators correctly you wouldn't be doing that. They were a disaster and either exploded prematurely or ran under the keel w/o detonating.
THen there were the problems with the firing pins on the torps smashing w/o detonating and requiring subs until late 1943 (if I remenber right) to have the torp hit at an angle to ensure detonation. Hitting the target at 90 degrees usually resulted in a dud.
THe sub skippers started setting the torp depth shallower to prevent running under the keel. Don't know if SH4 simulates this, but too shallow of a running depth would cause the weapon to broach and when it re entered the water it would usually change direction and depth
