An actual torpedo has an impeller on it that arms the torpedo after a fixed number of revolutions. It's driven by passage through water, so the faster the torpedo goes, the faster it arms. This means that whether it's on the slow or fast setting it will arm at the same distance, but different times. Whether this is modelling in game correctly, I don't know. The Mark 18s have a much reduced arming distance - are you sure it was Mk. 14s you fired?
