There is also the notion that if you wanted to make an early magnetic
exploder work the slower you were going the more likely it would work
but I dont think that aspect is modelled.
further though faster is better for reducing the chance of your target
maneuvering out of the way of the torpedos.
slower is better because with much more range to choose from
you have a much better chance at evasion
the above typically in un escorted and heavily escorted situations
respectively.
med speeds are a compromise.
steam was often faster electric showed no bubble wakes.
Japanese Oxygen torpedos didnt leave a wake either.
