Here's the Thing...This is the SECOND time this happened. First time was in an S-Class in March 42 in the Sibutu Passage. I thought my encountering a "Task Force" of Sampans was silly until it turned out to be 2 Gyoraitei patrol boats. They seemed confused and shooting way off target so I thought Id finish em off with the Deck Gun.
As Im on the deck gun blasting away, I notice these things drop off the sides. Torpedos??? In SH4 shot at me???  So I turn and put the Bow Directly at the patrol boat, figuring Id drive between them. Well One blew up and is that a hellacious event while on the deck gun..lol it actually stunned me for ma second in real life.. 
FOTRS 1.7 is EXCELLENT

Ouch! Yea, you shouldve been sunk lol.
They will definitely get you. Escorts in FOTRS caught me off guard first time firing torpedoes at me and I expected it was coming as had read about it in the readme.
In TMO I am working on AI DD's having torpedoes. The surfaced and submerged AI submarines can fire them now, as can PT boats. Thanks to FOTRS of course, I learned by example.
I've only been torpedoed once, I was in a Narwhal leaving Pearl in December 1941, on the surface at night, sailing along, no warning. Boom! AI submarine got me.
Had quite a few close closes in various patrols, been shot at by other subs, but never been hit.
US AI subs will attack enemy convoys, so wolfpack ops are now possible, a lot of fun teaming up on enemy convoys, can get intense. Did recently learn in testing to be careful as torpedoes which missed enemy can hit you on other side of convoy (one reason Wolfpack doctrine was to "take turns" attacking from opposite sides.
