Was that all magnetic torpedoes or just the electrics? I'd thought the only problem was with the depth keeping thingie (scientific term) on the electric eels (biology term) ??
So i've been keeping with all steam & letting the others figure out what the problem is with the new ones.
Or was it a problem with mags in rough waters prematurely....well you know...
? :hmm: |
It was all torpedoes. The magnetic pistols had problems the further north you were, and gave them just as many headaches as the Americans got from theirs. Also best evidence indicates that there was no 'switch' which could instantly turn it on or off - the magnetic head seems to have been removeable, but that was the only way to change it.
I also use whatever the correct time period dictates.
