Well, it has a lot to do with the conditions; attacking something, especially warships, during the daytime with clear blue skies and a dead calm ocean is usually not a very good idea. Even if you manage to get in close the enemy will see your torpedos coming a mile away (quite literally) and take evasive action. Rough seas or the cover of night can make all the difference though. Ducimus wrote a little essay about how the A.I behaves in the readme file that comes with TMO. It might be worth checking out
