How fast did thay actually go? The torps in this game seem to be EXTREMELY slow.

Get closer...on a more serious note they went about 15knots I think...

The common German LT F 5b would run at 45kn, the Japanese Type 91 rev 2 at 42 kn, the US Mark 13 33.5kn


Our torps in game run ~41kn (axis), ~34kn (Allied), so they do match their hostorical counterparts quite well

True, Jo was quite a bit off on his speed.  Getting data correct can be challenging.  

Now, if you would not mind answering what his name was (the 19 year old blonde), so we can continue that thread.
