Acoustic torps are supposedly useless on anything moving less then 12kts, but I have had some luck on taking out C2s props with them.

With the pattern torps you need to access the settings on them in your tdc. You'll see an extra button above the torp # there where you can change the settings. make sure you set the initial range run to > then the target distance otherwise it make a turn and begin running its pattern before it actually reaches the target.

I really haven't a whole lot of success with them after they miss the initial target. everynow and then they'll take a ship that happens to cross its pattern.
