of course you go to flank, and begin maneuvering wildly, which just results in everyone above sending a second salvo of torpedoes at you once they have reloaded...

I've had about 18 running me down at any given time.

EDIT: i guess my question is - is that a realistic tactic? i mean i know they want me dead... but it seems that the risk of being sunk by your own torpedo is too great to be putting that many fish in the water. i cannot count the number of times i have won the stalking the red bear mission without ever firing a shot of my own.
