They (mag) cause more damage, no doubt.
By proper I mean, well I don't know, I seem to recall some sort of missing but going off when they were pretty much by the ship. So there is a boom and a big splash but not sure how much damage it caused.
I used to be 100% impact. But even they aren't perfect. Times when the triggers don't hit right and they just bounce off.
Trying to finish off a DD I'd crippled yesterday and 3 - count 'em: 3 - impact torps banged into its side and didn't go off. ???
I'm using magnetic more and more. Just a bit ago I was targeting a Light Cruiser in the middle of a convoy so I figured I'd empty my back tube on a Lg Merchent while I was there. And I was pretty confident that 1 magnetic shot would be good enough. Sure enough it was. 12,000 ton merchant down with one magnetic torp. Probably woudln't have gone down with an impact shot.
