First one looks promising;

5375=MARK 27|Speed: 12 kt|Range: 4,500 m|Propulsion: Electric|Note: Homing torpedo

Don't recall if menu.txt is used in other mods, but not that critical anyway - whatever it says in the menu.txt file, the numbers in the .sim and .zon files specify what the fish actually do in game.

Current testing I actually managed to sink myself, had a SARGO with SuperCuties in the stern tubes, Mark 14s in the bow tubes. Fired all the stern tubes at 8000 yards toward an approaching task force, then went to flank speed, turned 180 degrees to close the range for Mark 14 shots - and managed to sink myself when the last SuperCutie turned around and homed on my screws.

In general, even with duds off they manage to do weird things like weaving the wrong way, missing the target, then circling around it and deciding to hit something else instead. One problem is the steering radius, designed for 12 knots and running at 48 knots they make wider turns.
