Yup, they only ran very slowly and for a km or so with cold batteries.
Pre-heating took at least 30 mins.
The aft tube on the VII boats did not usually have the equipment to
heat the fish so only steam torps where fired from the aft tube.
It certainly isn't a 'special ability' or optional. The idea that it would make
for a more explosive torp is ludicrous.
Tenner says that isn't quite how SH5 sees it.
