Yes indeed, the Mark 10 was a WWI torpedo, and still used by the S-boats. As old as it was, it was much more reliable than the newer Mark 14. Maybe that was because it didn't have a magnetic detonator.

True but the M10 had a smaller warhead according to that website. 500 compared to 600. I wonder if that is modelled? The explosion yield and Dud rate.

Some others M18 electric wakeless 29 knots @ 4000 yards. (Does game AI notice this? A human would the steam bubbles off a M14).

M23 exact same as the M14, just only the fast setting available to reduce cost.

M27 acoustic homing Anti-escort 100 pound explosive 12 knots run for about 12 minutes or 5000 yards total.
