Whats going on with contact influence torpedos? All of them pass beneath the keel without detonating. Yes, I´ve tried multiple depth setting, and I follow them with the external cam. I saw many of them pass as near as 2 feets and nothing happens!

Is this a bug?

Only works on metal targets.

You won't blow a Junk outta the water with any torp.

He doesn't say what year it is, but it seems to indicate that magentic exploders don't work at all. Specifically, it seems magnetic exploders explode at the same depth as contact exploders, and not any deeper, which means they just plain don't work.
