If I remember correctly there is a huge difference in the manner in which air dropped torpedoes work in 1.4 and 1.5. I believe in 1.4 when the torpedo was dropped it behaved like you would expect. However in 1.5 when the torpedo is released it immediately begins traveling quickly in the opposite direction of the dropping aircraft. I'll set up a mission to test this out to see if my memory serves me right and post the results here. This could help with your testing.
