I use magnetics quite a bit ... as long as you're after 41 like they said and aren't stupid about it you'll be fine. Don't forget to fine tune the running depth depending on the weather, and never use magnetics for very heavy seas. You'll get 100% premature detonations, every time.

Using Mags before 41 is a waste of KM resources and should be avoided. Only time I use mags is for 0 angle shots where there is a good chance of getting a magnetic to exploy by running the length of the keel.

Realistically, the magnetic exploders were used up through the Norway campaign in 1940. After that they were removed, and not in service again until early 1943. They could be physically removed and replaced, but in real life there was no switch that just turned them on and off.
