First benefit, the four torpedeos looking for vessels that are doing 10 kts are coming at vessels now going slower then 10 kts. All four have a high probability of missing the intended target. Second benefit, DD can manuever better and listen for you as well. I have only seen the dumb DD once. The rest have been very good. It is a mixed bag of what you are going to get.
