Actually ,I find that in my experience magnetics work just as fine for under the keel AOB90 shots as they do for oblique angle shots.

I have tested this in a practice shooting gallery type mission I made and had no problems.

Although I agree if you are in position for an AOB90 shot, you might aswell use an impact, as there is always a very slight chance of premature detonation with a magnetic, which becomes much more likely in heavy weather.

One thing I have noticed which I can't be sure of as it will need testing further:

To me there does not seem to be any difference in explosive power between impact and under the keel magnetic detonations. It seems to me that shot placement is the only thing that counts if you are going for 1 torp sinkings. I wonder if anyone has looked at the game files and knows for sure?
