One thing I noticed in your screenshot is that it's baffles are quite wide - about 60 degrees but again, what would you want the AI to do i this situation? More frequent baffle clears?
What's being touched on here is one of the few strengths / redeeming qualities of the Mk 37, for its time it was quiet. Now that the AI don't have torpedo ESP anymore (picking up slow passive torpedoes shot at distance in the baffles) stuff like this is possible.

In all likelihood these are the types of attacks that would have been attempted/preferred with the Mk 37 in wartime. If done right (launching sub not detected, target has course and speed that allow it to be intercepted by a 17 knot torpedo) this tactic can be quite successful, however the risks involved and the marginal nature of the weapon (both speed and warhead) lead to the development of the Mk 48.
