Impact Vs Magnetic Detonation

All fine and dandy, but what about damage between impact and magnetic?
I find no difference between them, using roughly a benchmark for 1 torp per 5000 tons. But even then, I sometimes have to use 2 fish for a ship under 5000 tons.

Magnetic is for exacting the most damage possible from a torpedo on a ship's hull, by exploding underneath the ship, thus forcing all explosive force into the keel of the ship, aimed at breaking it's back. This seldom happens for me, so I have to use 2 torps either way. I therefor tend to always use impact, only using magnetic when firing on ships with to great a deflectionangle to ensure an impact hit.

Magnetic detonation under a hull should do more damage than impact detonation against a hull, but I don't see it all that much.
