"Around 2/3 of these shots where with the slow mk18."
And you don't think a wakeless electric torpedo was a factor? Maybe he should have clarified, "any steam torpedo over 2000m will likely miss 90% of the time" since most misses over 500 yards are due to the target seeing the wake and maneuvering to avoid it. The whole advantage of the MK18 was the wakeless feature, with the slow speed and limited range it would have been useless otherwise.
