You should have no problems.

The only problem I have with acoustic torpedoes is sometimes they don't hear the escort and sail off to oblivion. Or they will hear something else (a merchant behind the escort) and go after it instead. Which is why you want to always set up your shots so that when you throw your eel at the escort there is nothing "downwind" behind the escort - otherwise your eel will sail past the escort and head on towards whatever it hears down wind.

But otherwise if you throw them at an escort they should loop back and tag that sucker. They will even beat themselves against the escorts screws until detonation (you can watch this funny behavior on the torpedo map screen even if you have map contacts off).

Now I have had them come back on me and even had one tag me right in the conning tower once (didn't sink me though hah) but if you stop your engines it should go after the escort every time.
