You will need to optimize the TA scope over speed to overcome sonar blackout(drag). Better chance surviving if you try maintaining stealth, rather than go in guns blazing. Even better, try masking your signature in neutral traffic(if any) then listen and obtain data on assumed hostiles. If there is a thermal layer, use that to your advantage also.

Try keeping the speed ‘quiet’ then stream / retrieve TA for optimized performance. If you are using the neutral as cover, match it’s speed and shadow its movements and try to optimize for a larger scope.

Snaps are suicide against more than one ‘assumed’ hostile, especially hostiles at the helm of ASW torpedo capable platforms.

Be best(and wise) to try and locate(at least) / class 1st and attack on valid data, not a hunch. Against multiple assumed hostiles, you are going to have one shot at initial survival; make it count.
