Something wrong there?

Yes.
I too shot torps just under the hull at around 24 to 27 feet. The magnetic does not really work. You must still 'hit' the hull. (Though I do get 'under the keel' type damage -it is hitting that fin thing that run the length of the ship).

The Mogami is much deeper in draft than listed. 4.4m +3m = 7.4 m ~ 24 feet draft.

This same for Contact or Magnetic. If it goes true under the hull, it misses. That Mogami draft really is way off.
