Really odd.

First, the visual cues are less important than the audio cues. If you can hear the ping, you still have a detection... you're just going to need to mark somewhat blindly at the ping range.
Second, 6nm may be out of range depending on sonar conditions, aspect, and whether the Kilo is under the layer.

So long range a torp, you can try running away. Medium range, do you try to "beam" the torp? Angle towards it, or away? or turn like crazy?

Beaming or stern quarter. If it acquires, a slight zigzag course will help the Nixie pick it up. Once you get the hang of it, you'll see just how hard it is for a Kilo to tag you with the rather poor weapons it has.
