In storms I usually use magnetic pistol and set the running depth to about 1.5 meters below the keel to compensate for waves. Attacking in a storm is not optimal anyway, so that's the best you can do really.
I do the exact opposite in storm weather - I set the torpedoes on Magnetic but 1-1,5 meters above the target's draft to compensate for waves. Setting it below is a sure way that your torpedo will miss underneath her as she rolls upward.
