Practical torpedo evasion

Now that I've got a bit bored with the moderately arcadey Cold Waters I felt like going back to DW for a while. I got the DVD and printed manual.. Somewhere.. But I guess I might as well as buy the steam version instead of trying to locate the correct box in the garage.

So about torpedo evasion. I've seen the generic guides which more or less say to drop a noise maker and clear datum at an angle. Too bad you die that way. In CW you can see how difficult it is to evade a torpedo even when you have a perfect eye of God view of the situation. In DW you have none such unless you do a TMA on a live torpedo bearing down on you.. Good luck with that.

So, has someone made a guide on how to do it with what you have in the simulation? I presume you should work with the active intercept tool to determine if the torpedo is bearing right at you or veering to a side to go around a noise maker?
