There should be no baffle at all when you go at two knts, the TA sinks and own ship is no longer a problem, shouldn't it? :hmm:

Dont want to keep on harping back to whats been said, but i think that...(and this is an amatuers prospective).

1) You got your TA out? Then you have no blind spot, regardless of any minor degredation to the 180.

2) If thats the case, when do subs deploy the thing, always? or depending on the situation

3) If the subs we read about are able to get into another subs baffles then that must suggest that the sub being trailed didnt have its TA deployed.

4) As all the above is conjecture feel free to tear it to bits ;)

I don't understand why TA device should be hanging around outside the submarine main body. What if it hits rocks and get cut off?

Well that is a real risk, depending on the speed of the sub the TA droops down (DW models this well) so if your near the bottom you need to be careful.

I dont think DW models the chance of ther TA breaking from contact with the bottom, but you do get a 'wash out' effect when it hits the sea bed.
