Not so much haters, it's just most supermods have reworked damage zones to be more realistic, so cuties have little effect against anything worth attention. I could carry 4 and not sink one ship with them, compared to the punch of the M14, possibly 2-4 ships....
Once, for the heck of it, I loaded 10 cuties. I've reworked crew ratings and scripted in some convoys that actually hug the China coast later war. With the escorts with elite ratings, these are dangerous to go for. So I launched 10 cuties at a slow group from far away and ran. I think damn near everyone hit, the results, one merchant hit with 2-3 slowed to 1 kt.....Just not worth it....
Now, when playing stock, they had a hell of a unrealistic punch........
