I gave this a try lol. Found one listening in when i busted a convoy in fog. I went deep and tried to wait them out. Two of the three made out but the third was no where to be found. I came up slow for a peek and caught him with his back to me. I put him on my 180 and fired one at shallowest setting but the pistol didnt get him. It was a perfect shot right under his stack although waves were medium hight. Will the magnetic usually work on destoryers?
