Well ... sending a slower torp will delay the TIW for your target
but as soon as the sonar operator could see the fish, you will have TIWS, you, and even all AI plateforms with sonar.

You could try some tests to look at best things to delay the TIW
On surface ships, I saw that launching a passive torp slower than original speed will give you a very high probability to hit the target =>
- passive seeker have wide range
- TIW is delayed for the engaged target (especially usefull with warships ...) and it will react too late to avoid the torps.

You just have to avoid collateral damage (guiding torps), as the seeker in passive is really attracted by the louder sounds.
And without guided torps, to open the seeker at the right moment (close to the target).

Passive generally (not all ....) need to slow down
but on MP sub vs sub fight, you never use passive, but you can slow your torps down to let them give a thinner track on the ennemy sonar .... and to delay the TIWS (if you are at long range from him)
