>the torpedoes are wire guided
I agree, wire guidance really makes it all a breeze, though it could limit maximum engagement ranges due to the solid state requirement (unless you trust it to search by itself, kek). Wire guidance, while a beautiful part of submarine warfare, is limited, as the host submarine cant make extensive movements, lest it breaks the wire.
How hard is it to break a torpedo wire? They cant be much much stronger than a fibre-optic cable, and I doubt they have any substantial insulation. Such a weapon could very well be stopped if the torpedo is detected and fired upon, as the line will be in the same place as the torpedo even if said torpedo is beyond the blast radius of the weapon which cuts the cable.
At that point, if the torpedo cant be steered away, its either run and split up or let god decide your fate. Towed decoys are one of many solutions at that point (if the reel is long enough to go out 2-3 miles).
