Agree with you on the right angle with the contact pistol, but magnetic should perform at least as good or better when the angle is smaller (larger) since that way it has more time beneath the hull.

Anyway what I meant was that I thought they would've upgraded the magnetic pistols by 1943 on the TI torpedoes as well by the time TIII was introduced. After all they did prolong the operation time by introducing TI FAT.
Since TIII worked flawlessly where TI did not I can only deduce this was not the case (at least in the game of course).
