I believe the German magnetic torps were hypersensitive. (See Norwiegan Campaign)

Fan shot vs Salvo. The (Faecher?) shot was a shot where they fired all 4 tubes at over lapping targets, hoping to hit one if the others missed. I know what you're talking about, I can look it up at home when I get off work.

If you want a good source for torp problems, see Clay Blair's U-boat War vol 1 or Silent Victory(?) for US. It goes into A LOT of detail regarding torp issues.
