The AI doesn't acknowledge neither torpedo wakes nor prematurely-detonated torpedoes (i.e. it doesn't see and/or react to them).
You did, however, make a fatal mistake during the attack: you did not account for keel depths. A Kongo has a very deep keel compared to a destroyer, so setting the torpedoes 3m (9feet) deeper than the DD's keel would've given you a pretty good chance for the torps to slip right underneath the DD without detonating.

Ah ok, but I was wondering
The Torp setting for contact vs contact/influence having no effect, is that a bug in the game or is that historically accurate?
The AI dosnt notice a premature detonation? or Torp wakes? for such a good game, this seems like kind of a big oversight by the developers?
Yeah, usually if I see that there is a chance another ship would block my torps, I set them to run deeper and try and get them under the first ship, however in this case when I was lining up my shot, there didnt seem to be a risk of that. And apparently the torps always tend to run deeper then the depth u set (or so I was told), so I try not play around with the setting if I can.
