Magnetic vs Impact Pistols

There are zero garuntees when using electircs and magnetic pistols.
Much like watching your favorite NFL team play. Sometimes the plays are spot on, other times they tank right the frick out.

The use of alcohol has helped in these situations.

The same applies in the English Premiership

when i said i hadnt missed yet, what i should have said was, all my magnetic torps have hit so far because ive done the tutorials and one third of my first patrol in seas like a pond...... ive now done most of my first patrol and in a storm all my magnetic torps missed - used 5 to sink a single freighter, 2 went under because the boat was high in the water, 3 went off early!! hurrumph

I'm not having much success with the torps set to mag. Some detonate prematurely and some pass harmlessly under no matter what depth setting. This is especially true for the type 2 torps

Hmm so far I seem to be lucky with the magnetic triggers. What's the weather when you are using them?

And regarding T1/T2 torpedos, I always wondered: Should you go by the description in the game? I.e. T2 are very faulty and shouldnt be used early in the war?

Doesn't really seem to matter what the weather is but it really gets annoying when they prematurely explode in the calm seas and give away my position.

It could really be that the T2 are especially flawed -- but I don't know if and how this was implemented into the game play. Also, I don't know whether realism setting "dud torpedos" will affect this?

I haven't used many T2 lately though because I am usually in rough waters.
