Doubt about the G7e

Hello,

Just attacked a merchant. 3 of the torpedoes I threw at him either ran low or the magnetic pistol didn't activate. They were set at depths of 1m or less deeper than the draft of the ship, according to the diagram under the tubes selection window. The fourth one I sent much shallower with the impact pistol, but turned out to be a dud. The sea was almost flat, my target was around 40° off my bow with an AoB of around 120°, range between 2000-800m. I know the attack geometry was by far not ideal. Date November 1939.

Is this normal for the G7e? Is there a prefered depth for the magnetic pistol? Was it because of the attack geometry?
