Thanks All!!

Not in WW2, Silent Hunter 4 is a WW2 Pacific Simulator. There might be some mod(s) out there simulating such control, but I suspect not. The only thing that Silent Hunter 4 has is the Cutie Torpedo which is actually a mine with a homing device attached that homes in on the screws' noise. It's short ranged and pretty slow, so it's mostly defensive in nature but even then hard to use if for instance an escort is moving fast. Against an escort, stopped and listening and up close it can be quite deadly.
edit> The Germans did have a wire-guided torpedo, so maybe the Add-on U-Boats in the Pacific allow for their use on their U-Boats towards the end of the war. Not sure because I only play the U.S. side. You have to have the Add-on to use the German U-Boats. You can help the site by purchasing the Add-On thru their link
here!
Even if the German U-Boats don't have wire-guidance in game, the v1.5 update is built into the Add-On and most mods on the site require v1.5 of the game.
