G7es torpedos

Well, I could not find any information from a search, so I'll have the ask the question here.

My payload of torpedoes are G7es and I've never used them before.

Which should they be set as, Impact or magnetic?

id say use impact...the magnetic have to many premature detonations or duds
some simply just pass under the keel
very depth sensitive

Impact with good AOB is the surest way tp success. However, Ive sank a number of ships by using magnetic when I couldn't wait for good AOB.

Ive used them with impact and magenetic settings but it all depended on the weather seeing there homeing torps they going to find a target most of the time.

my XVIII is filled with these...

No 'stupid' munitions... In a battle with destroyers, I approach the convoy headon... Stop engines and wait till escorts are below 5700 meters away, this is when I fire Zaunkoning I /II... With destroyers out of the picture, I use the Falke for escaping merchants and only Tonnage wise...

To have peace of mind, I always set them to IMPACT..

Magnetic det works 'if it works..' with G7e unguided/stupid fish..

Typical loadout in my XVIII.

Bow tubes 1,3,5 --> Zaunkoning I/II/I .. tubes 2,4,6 --> Falke

Reserves 10 Zaunkoning I/II combo, 7 Falke..

Sometimes If I'm bored with that or I'm about to raid port, I load G7e instead of Falke...
