Falke torpedoes broken?

In SH3 targets had to be traveling at least 11-14 kts for Falke torpedos to work correctly. I'm not sure about that also applying in SH5 but, it could.

Well, I re-loaded the game and re-fired at the convoy - 3 steamers and a Falke. The steamers got there ahead of the Falke and alerted the escorts who hit the gas - and then the Falke started tracking and blew its screws off.

I then re-engaged the convoy again and fired two falkes - one hit from true aim and then the other started tracking and hit the one that had already been hit.

So I'm guessing there is a lower speed threshold and 10 knots ain't it.
