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...

Biggest consideration for me is the AoB. If I can set up a nice 90° I'll use impact (it's at its most reliable then, while magnetics are at their worst since they don't spend much time below the ship).
Against large ships at 90°, impact torpedos at the keel (draft -1m or so) are a viable alternative to magnetic detonations, especially at long range where there is a large chance of a premature detonation.

Magnetic detonators are nice in calm weather (rough seas mean magnetic torpedos can miss, either by going below the keel or by crashing into the hull) at AoBs below 60° - plenty of time spent below the ship, and the angle is too steep for impact detonators to work reliably.

There is, unfortunately, no elegant solution for small AoB coupled with high waves. As a small consolation, an off-centre hit (bow or stern; the rougher the sea the more I'd favour the bow) will often end up sinking a ship in foul weather.
