Yes, in real life, you can set torpedoes to come from different directions. However, I don't dare do any of those "off-angle" tactics in Cold Waters ... the wires keep breaking. Everyone else tells me they don't really break that much, but somewhere between 25-50% of my wires break.
And yes, obviously they have to work on the algorithm. Right now it is buggy. But the day when they get rid of the bugs might be the day when it suddenly becomes "too perfect".
