Far better to use a narrow angle against a small target.
That way the explosion wil occure under the target as opposed to the other side of it.

I would go for an impact shot half way between the waterline and keel.

I only use magnetics at 90 degrees against broad targets.
Absolutely correct. Read the article on magnetic torpedoes on my kielman website and don't forget to order my book Kingmaker, you'll need it on patrols or for smoking a good cigar and enjoying a brandy.
