I tested it after the 4th patrol in the tutorial. No smoke with torpedos but with the deck canon there is smoke, a lot.
I play the GWX 3 Gold mod with no other mods except the effects from SH4.

I think there are a lot of factors involved in what effects you get depending on where you hit, probably stipulated in the ship model's .zon file. I often hit a ship and there is no smoke and it goes down, other times there is widespread smoke and burning. Sometimes, and this is my favorite, the torp hits and there is nothing for ages except a slight list or dip and then suddenly, KABOOM!!! the whole ship explodes in utter carnage.
It's random, and I love that, having the same effect every time would detract from the overall 'ooooh, aahhhhh' factor.
