I am in August '41 and still having problems with magnetic fuzes and depth-keeping. As stated above, sea state and range is important. There is very little else to choose from than the magnetic fuze when in self-defense mode against a destroyer approaching fast as both types of torps are also still quite sensitive to the impact angle - when on impact fuze.

In RL the reason for the depth-keeping problems wasn't properly discovered untill '43. In the meantime many crews adapted their own modified techniques. The angle of hit capability was also improved, going back to a simpler, WWI-era system (actually copying the British, I think).
