Got DW right before Christmas, and oh what fun it is to drive the OHP....
I think there's been something missing all along, since Jane's 688i. When I fire a wire-guided torpedo, and it runs to its enable point.....it should send back information like "I'm homing on something" (when it finds a target) and "I've lost what I was homing on" (if it has been homing and has now lost the target). Otherwise it's nearly impossible to tell that the weapon has missed it's target.
I have no first hand information but I can't believe there isn't something like this in real life.
