You're kidding right ?
Passive countermeasures (and active also but that's beyond the point) are stationary objects in DW. You deploy one, and the enemy can triangulate your position in exactly 4 minutes (if he is using passive sonar) using TMA. If you evade at 30 knots, that means that the maximum distance between you and your countermeasure after 4 minutes is only 2 nm (at best). Against an experienced player, deploying cm is like saying I'm here !!!! :rotfl: It doesn't really improve your tactical situation at all. Deploying cm is a desperate and last act.
