So keep it magnetic and dont worry "too" much about where I hit it. As stated earlier, I do like to hit the first 3rd of the ship and let the ships inertia help with the flooding of the compartment. Do I still keep a high percentage to get a one shot kill by using magnetic under the keel while aiming for the fuel tank / Ammo Storage or are those one BIG explosions only the domain of impact torpedoes?

If your magnetic torpedo is effective, it should be much more devastating than an impact, regardless of location.
How would one do damage control on a hole the size of a house IN THE BOTTOM OF A SHIP?

You throw some duct tape at it on your way to the lifeboats.

Good thing for my computer that I didn't have any coffee in my mouth on reading that.

Good one, Frau Kaleun.

I've tried different tactics in where to hit. And I have come to the conclution that I should go for the center of the target. That seems to be the best choice with magnetic pistol. So that's where you should aim.
You rarely need more than one hit on a merchant, if you hit in the middle of it. The big explosions will happen to a lesser extent.

Well, I couldn't say that pokemon in real life would be any better than war. Imagine how terrible I would look in manga. No, I would probably prefer war and that's why I'm here.

I think as long as we remember that the game is so much better than actualy having to live it, all is fine.

May I be excused from Pokemon? I love my SH3.

War does suck, take it from some one that has seen it in both Afghanistan and Iraq.

Now Duck Tape is Gods gift to men!
I have seen Combat Engineers patch-up a M1A1 Abram with it, make nice and neat C-4 bundles with it, repair leaking lines on our Helos... Heck aside from using super-glue to glue a cut shut, duct tape is a great method to stop major bleeding...
