I wouldn't want to play a career mode game with such a thing enabled but it would be extremely helpful for practice sessions.

I'd imagine there is a mod already made or one you can do to get unlimited torpedoes but unfortunately I don't know where either would be. Maybe someone else can chime in.
Sounds like you might want to follow the KISS principle, which isn't a bad thing and is historically correct anyway.
One good start on that is to get 90 degree angle attacks down pat and then if desired, try something else.
To do so simply parallel track a convoy maintaining a fairly constant distance from the nearest ship and the same speed. Doing so and you already have a targets course and speed without touching a thing.
Draw a line representing the target course, get ahead of the target continuing on that parallel course and when far enough ahead turn into the 90 degree intercept course heading. I.e., say the target is traveling 025 degrees. Simply add (if you're on port side of target) or subtract (if you're on starboard side of target) 90 from that 025 heading and that is the heading you need to go.
Targets can easily be hit from 3500 meters or less. But don't let your boat/scope be seen.
There's plenty of do this/don't do that I could add but that would only confuse things and make something simple, unnecessarily complex, plus I bet you'd learn fast enough by practicing yourself. Maybe just work on even just getting into position to shoot before worrying about actual targeting. This method has a very easy and accurate targeting method too.
It's the only way I attack. Get inside a convoy and you can easily fire from both bow and stern with it.
What is your mod setup ? Knowing that may lead to get missions to practice with.
