Active intercept still works, you just won't hear torpedos at your six.
On the other hand, going against subrocs loaded subs you will thank the RA team for having included an "underwater missile launch" warning.
And this waring you get even if the launch is way beyond 3nm because underwater missile launches are much noiser than torpedo launches.
As for doing manual tma, first you have to learn to descriminate between contacts of interest and other contacts. Then, use all the sensors and that includes in the new subs the photonic mast to gain a tma solution for surface contacts.
For those pesky hostile subs, make informed guesses as to their speed if demon is not available, use waterfall display to deduce the type of los, and use the tma station only every 2 minutes.
Last but not least download the red book from CADC website. It explains how to keep updated the tma solution even when the contact changes course and or speed.
