There were wake-less torpedoes used as early as 39 by the Germans.
The Mark 16 was never used during world war 2 but it did remain in service from 45 to the mid 70's. Only 1700 hundred were produced.
Also the Mark 16 was not steam but H2O2 driven.

A. Played u boats, was fun for a few but lost interest after a short time.
B. I know the Mark 16 was not used in combat although they were finished before the war and would have been used if war had not ended.They are in he game and like to use them in later career. They were essentially wakeless from what I read and no, they were not a Mark 14.They had a much longer range, could pattern run(although cant in game) and had a more powerful warhead.Torpedo is expensive in the game and if one chooses to use it in game, should be worth it.Being wakeless would make it worth while, esp in later war in RSRD as convoys run the coast, making surfaced attacks a necessity and with radar, can't always fire from a decent range.
While not 100% realistic, neither is the sim, it is a sim.I play as realistic as possible but exceptions for things like this can be made.
