Just a comment...
My sonar initially gets a bearing or "cut". For analysis at that point, that is all it is. I could wait around for better "fix" on the contact, but most often, I fire with a command (me) analysis of when to set the torpedo to go active.
Maybe more neutrals will reduce my "quick to fire" attitude. But, then again, it is a war zone.
Using the thermal layers, turning to get a better "fix" than just the original "cut" and leaning towards staying deep, it all plays into the play of CW.
I have noticed that threat surface vessels and submarines (sometimes) do fire back when detecting a my torpedo launch and I am comfortable with that. That is what I would do.
I would like it if the sonar panel had a signature for threat torpedoes. I wonder if my sonar operators need training on torpedoes moving through the water. I suspect that torpedoes are noisier than submarines.
Hope helps.
