but it does, take a screen shot of it then compare to without it and you will see how much brighter it is. its not like a "wow look at that" kind of difference but making it too bright also makes it more detectible by ships. the mod makes the whole wake brighter so the "longer" wake that you notice is because the bubble trails are brighter making the wake brighter and easier to see.
the wakes are that long already you just don't see or notice them because they are so faint and faded they appear to be broken and vanish but they get transparent as they fade and when they are brighter that takes longer time making wakes look longer.
the change in brightness is done within the layers of the image file and if you want brighter then compare the stock image and do your own version of it and remember if you make it brighter the wakes will look even longer because the entire wake gets brighter. the wake lengths for ships are controlled by other files found in the "longer wakes" mod so look there for clues as to what to look for to adjust torpedo wake lengths.
side effects are shared files so as an example things like periscope wakes might use the same files as torpedo wakes, not saying they do just that you need to do testing to see if you change things you didn't want to
