A very small anti-submarine homing torpedo. Also known as the Mark 24 Mine and as "Fido." Homing was by four crystal hydrophones arranged around the body with simple guidance system that steered towards the loudest noise. Launch parameters were 125 knots from 250 feet (76 m).

The following is from "US Navy Torpedoes" by Frederick J. Milford:

"340 [Fido] torpedoes [were] dropped in 264 attacks of which 204 were against submarines. In 142 attacks US aircraft sank 31 submarines and damaged 15; in 62 attacks against submarines other Allies, mainly British, sank six and damaged three. Most of these submarine sinkings were German U-boats in the Atlantic, but five Japanese submarines were sunk by Fidos, one, I-52, in the Atlantic and four in the Pacific. OEG Study No. 289, 12 August 1946, is the main source for this conclusion."
Fido was first used successfully by a British B-24 Liberator defending Convoy HX 237 on 12 May 1943, sinking U-456. This was followed by a USN PBY-5A from VP 84 which sank U-640 on 14 May 1943.

Fido would have been too slow to attack the Type XXI U-boats and could be avoided by going very deep

it took 2 separate attacks to sink I-52. the first attack only damaged her, she now rests in 15000 feet deep.

I wouldn't have wanted to have been on one of those old WWI relic 4-stacker escorts that had an engine clang of 100+ decibels and have been near a drop zone... :o - "Scotty, I need ~more~ power!" "I'm givin' 'er all she's got, Cappin!" "While you're at it, can you hold the noise down a bit, please, Scotty?" "Sir, incoming torpedo! Time to impact, T-minus 22 seconds" "Thank you, Mister Sulu"...

I need help to get this working ingame

Or aND someone else to look at my files to see what I'm missing
