Quick answer, yes.

Not so quick answer...
I could swear GWX 2.1 has made magnetic torps more "faulty" (if they did, then it's a good thing IMO) but at any rate I try not to use them cos I usually end up just wasting a torp. That said, when I do use them I set depth to draft+1 in flat seas (0m/s wind speed) and draft+2 in rough seas (15m/s wind speed) and something in-between when the weather is in-between.
When firing impact I go no deeper than draft-2 (much shallower than that in rough seas because the ship will go up and down a lot on the waves and your impact torp could bounce off the lower part of the hull or even pass right under the ship).

Have fun!
