Depending on how the torpedo is implemented, a "real" torpedo can be spawned with the water splash, and you can indeed "see" it. However, actually seeing it is a bit of a problem due to its speed, and the unknown depth of the camera, along with a slightly wonky sound "system" in the game that does the sound apparently by the way the camera is facing in relation to the submarine, and not as the camera would relate to the sound source. So what sounds like it must be coming from the right, might actually pass right behind you, if you are attempting to "find" it with the external camera. As for the drop, that is mod & game version dependent, and the "attack" can trigger the Event Camera (FotRSU), if it is not already too busy with other aspects of the game. This is similar to a DD launching a torpedo, or a submarine, etc in FotRSU. If there is a torpedo plane attacking a Task Force, as an example, at the same time you are, you might see an animation of the torp launch from your submarine, and an animation of the torp launch from the airplane at the ship(s), and the DD responding to the airplane and / or your submarine with a torp launch (or twenty) of its own...
- The game did not expect to have DD using torps, hence their use as an AA weapon, besides also being used for ASW - and it can all be seen "on camera"...
