Magnetic Detonation Working? - Page 2

Has anyone had decent results with the magnetic detonator on the torps in SH5 so far? I can't figure out if they are bugged, or 'working as intended'.

They basically act no different then impact detonation. I can sail a torp almost perfectly under the keel of a ship and the torps refuse to detonate. By perfectly, I mean a gap so small between the bottom of the ship and the torp that the magnetic detonator should be going off - But it doesn't. I've only been able to get my magnetic torps to go off by firing them into the side of the ship itself - Just as an impact torp.

Anyone see the same issue? Or is this a non-issue, and does the magnetic detonator really suck that much?
