In my playthrough I found that most causes for wire-breaks were not speed, or even sharp manoeuvres but the angle to torpedo.
If you don't know, the torpedo wire will break, if your angle to torpedo is greater than 30 degrees on each side.
Yes. I tend to leave just enough angle (~10 degrees AOB) for the towed sonar to function. And I'm either stopped or at 5 knots. I've done everything I know to make things easy for the wire.
