The homing torps ingame run for 400m before acquiring target
Obviously the target is moving and most of the time changing course too
The loudest noise is the prop so thats where the homer heads for
Now sometimes they overshoot as target not where the torp headed for so they circle around and home in on the prop
As for seeking the wrong target - well the homer is designed to head for the loudest noise
So if you fire at one ship at 0 angle and there is another closer ship at 45 making more noise then thats where the torp will head for
Sometimes you if you go to flank after firing
Standing orders for uboats was to dive deep straight after firing and silent running so they werent the loudest closest target
