Magnetic fuse for torpedoes - how much more destructive than impact fuse?

yeah, torpedoes can blow off propellers but I usually aim under the keel. The explosion under the engine room can immobilize the ship too plus I guess that flooding would be more severe in this location..

I had more critical hits with impact pistols I guess (those with explosions).
But I remember also escorts hit by torpedoes with magnetic pistol where hit under the keel caused also explosion of ammo bunkers.
