2 Questions.. Returning to base and Torpedoes

Just when I was about to ask a question about torpedo settings, someone here said "There is no reward to return back to base, just press ESC"

So, I have GWXgold and wondering why I always travel ALL the way back to base, is it true that this is not needed? Just press esc and click end patrol?

There will be no "Dock at <insert base>" option I assume..

Do you guys travel back to base or just press ESC?

THANKS!!

Now to the torps.. For the longest time I was just using auto for my settings, but recently I just realized It seems better to set the depth of my torps to just a meter or so below the ship, sometimes I get it just right or sometimes it still hits the broad side.. Either way, I assume there is more damage from exploding underneath than on the side?

What would the benefit be to use impact vs magnetic? I know one case would be that using magnetic you don't have to get a broad side 90 degree shot, you can shoot at an angle or even head on.

Thanks all!
