Allies had the FIDO (an acoustic torpedo) after 1943 and it was used against uboats.

In my tests seems that they will catch you until 12-15m below water. I donīt know if this is historically correct but is what we have in game. The ai torpedos are a compromisse because Sh3 lacks totally the code to control them. Anyhow seems that even in Sh4/Sh5 their stock routines isnīt that good. Remembers me about lifeboats, where the sh3 mod works frequentelly better than the original Sh4 code...
