Will we face enemy torpedoes?

The IJN had a substantial fleet of DDs equipped with type 93 Long Lances. While these were generally used against surfaced ships I can't see why they wouldn't try to use them against subs at periscope depth. Similarly, Japan also had excellent torpedo bombers as well. I would definitely like to see torpedoes used as a weapon.

PARTICULARLY with realistic damage. I had heard that in SHIII torpedo hits against your own sub are bad, but not insta-kills. What gives? A torpedo, even a light, aircraft-dropped one, would turn a submarine inside out!
