I never saw a enemy torp hitting the enemy ship, I think the devs have made this impossible, but not for your sub 
In the game, changing your vertical position quickly and making at least a 100° turn at 25 knots should evade the torp for some time, but to re-direct it in one specific position just make a smaller turn, but still go up or down quickly and the torp should run in that direction under or over your sub. So theoretically it works, but as said: because it would be too easy to get rid of an enemy, the devs must have disabled friendly AI torp hits (I don't know, I'll be happy to hear anyone saying the contrary). Also the enemy must be *really* close, 2-3 ky at maximum for the torpedo to follow him.
What is possible is: colliding with the enemy, this will take you severe hull damage and floodings,more than a torpedo hit. |
Nope AI torps can circular run. I used this tactic to sink an enemy Victor III once, as I was on my way to insert a SEAL team and had limited ordinance. I was running from a full salvo of enemy fish, so I sprinted towards him and started running circles around the Victor and dropping noisemakers. Eventually a couple of the fish homed on the Victor instead of me and put it on the bottom. I've also had ownship weapons circle back after losing wire continuity, which is disturbing because I thought Mk48s had safeguards against circular runs. It's times like this I wish we had the ability to command detonate torpedoes
