Mk 27 and Mk 16 torps?

[AntEater]

Is the Mk 16 (America's answer to the "long lance") really in Game?
I haven't seen it yet.
Also, does the Mk 27 "Cutie" guided torp actually work?
I fired only one sofar and it did not hit anything.

I will bump my post shamelessly until someone replies....

The mark 27 required the target to move more than 10 knots to be effective. Of the 106 launched, the Mk XXVII achieved a 31% hit rate sinking 24 ships and damaging an additional 9.

The Mk 16 torps used hydrogen peroxide as a fuel and had a range of 13,700 yards (12,500 m)@46 knots. They were developed in 1944/1945 but didn't enter service until after the war and served into the 1970's

I know the real life technical specs (not in such detail but the basics), but I am interested how these two torps behave in SH4
