It cannot possibly be. If it was the Hardcore Torpedoes Mod causing this how could I possibly have experienced it (as I undoubtedly did - I even made a post about it at the time) before I loaded the Hardcore Torpedoes Mod onto my computer? The mod would have to download itself onto my computer, install itself before I saw the bug and then uninstall itself before I compared the files prior to installing the mod. That is physically impossible.

The most CCIP's mod could possibly do would be to make the bug worse, but this bug undoubtedly happens with the stock game because I've seen it happen. I shot a full load of torpedoes at a freighter and every single one hooked to the left by 18 degrees. This was with unmodded torpedoes. I know for sure because I was considering the torpedo mod at the time and I found people discussing this bug and blaming it on the mod, so I made a post in the mod thread saying "I have this bug and I'm only *thinking* of installing the mod".

Anyway, this bug only seems to happen when firing at docked ships, so it works for me as a way to promote realistic play. In real life it would have been virtually impossible to get into a harbour to fire torpedoes at docked ships. The alternative is building lots of minefields for RFB and I definitely don't want to do that because they're a pain to build and in SH3 they often caused CTDs.
