A good point. I prefer to dispose of it immediately, since it's there and it's the one I can shoot from underwater.

The stationary one does move backwards also iirc. Depending on where it thinks the torpedo is going to hit. Best is to either set the torpedo as deep as possible to avoid detection, or wait until the onset of darkness. Which is due by the time you are finished with the movers.
I've never seen it move backward, but I have seen it ignore the torpedo when I accidentally set it a meter or so too far forward. It just sat there ane watched it go by.

The thing I like about the tutorials is that you can do them over and over until you're happy. I also use the Navigation Class to test new mods.
