If the torpedo is locked, it will follow the target if it changes depth. Even if the target is changing depth before the torpedo locks on, it usually cannot change depth enough to get out of seeker cone. Also thermal layer has no effect on short distances at which the seeker locks on.


Most of the time no. And most of the time, there is also no need. While subs can change depth, all the problem is basically just 2D. Sub can go 1000m down .. the best ones .. but that is nothing compared to horizontal distances. Also the torpedo at medium depth will pick up enemy sub at any depth.
Thank you on your answers! Any good TMA tutorial out there I am really having problems with drawing solution it takes me too long to aling the green ruller in TMA with all bearnig lines
