I suppose not, but they definitely had better "regular" torps than we did. That's interesting you mention the last. Now that you mention it I've never read of German acoustic torps being fired at all in anger, I'm sure they were but never read or heard of which subs did shoot them, then again 3/4 of the subs never got home or got the chance to report.
