The biggest advantage with magnetic is the ability to exploded underneath a ship's draft where the armour is the weakest. The whole idea of an magnetic detonator is to exploded whenever it detects the ships magnetic field. Keep in mind, the magnetic option can be bit wonky at times, particular in rough weather and on the fast speed option. (It could be different on LSH since I'm only playing with GWX).

I hope that this isn't seen as a cheat but in my experience it matters not a jot which you set it to, just aim for a metre under the hull regardless of the torpedo or i/m setting. Shouldn't work but it does.
