If not it was not a hit.
Even if the escorts force you deep, not a problem, just hang around until the escorts loose interest, which they will.
Even if you are under deep. the crew will cheer if the ship sinks and it will appear on the map.
Early war, best bet is to use the impact setting.
It is a bit of a learning curve, but practice makes perfect.
Good hunting in the future.

I use auto settings for torpedoes
don't know if they are magnetic or what. They are the regular "pre-war" T1 says here. It's 4th october '39 here. How can I tell or enable the magnetic stuff?

Yes, in every of the 3 hits my crew cheered. Right now I launched 4 more torpedoes and heard one hit with cheers and a nice music piece...

I'll go fetch my umbrella, is it raining depth charges over here
