My problem when launch from 7+ nmi ends up being that during the Victor's evasive manuvers, he goes over and under the layer sporadically, which makes me lose him on sonar constantly, which forces me to follow him through the layer, only to discover he popped back onto the other side.

I have to double back the torpedos constantly or split them up along the bearing to target, but if I lose contact with the Victor for long enough, he can get away enough to outrun the torpedoes.

Maybe it's an issue of practice, but I'll keep trying to see if I can improve wire-guiding to target.
