Yes this torpedo is a slow torpedo, it is a self defense weapon, battery powered so no wake. You should fire it at a charging DD. The game and real live make several departures, one is the faster the DD is going the harder it is for it to hear underwater contacts. So in a real life application you would fire it at close range, while deeper below the surface down a contact barring at a slow target.
