Maybe I will try to get closer.

Ok here is some advice : if the torpedos dissappear before hitting the target the most probable reason is that they have run out of fuel. Pure and simple. Another reason can be that the submarine environment has changed and the torpedo has hit the bottom.
Also activating the torpedo while it still has a long way to go is counterproductive, since it will zig-zag and consume more fuel to arrive to the target.
As for the torpedoes exploding on countermeasures, with stock DW there is only one way to deal with this, and it is by deactivating temporarily the torpedo just before it encounters the countermeasure. You can triangulate precisely where the countermeasure is by doing a TMA on it; only 2 line of bearing are necessary since cm are stationary targets.
