Is this actually modeled in the game, or is it just a fact from RL?
I do not believe this is modeled into the game. They modeled prematures, deep runners and circle runners. In RL the pin would be forced so hard at impact that the firing pin would bend and not set off the torpedo. Slow speed and aiming at an angle was their solution.
This is in fact modelled into the game. It just doesn't play that big of a role because the Mark 14 torpedoes way too reliable in the stock game anyway

The speed settings have a noticable difference in the next version of Torpedo Hardcore mod
