Which reminds me .. I played Hainan Heist .. basicly you fight with Kilo against 688. I went slow, facing 688 (hiding screw noise, this seems to have some effect too). LA probably did not had TA streamed. It just had no chance to see me, and it did not. I fired one Test 71 fish at it from 3 miles, it was sure kill.
BUT ! In the moment there was friendly helo (I foolishly reported LA to the link) and droped two torpedoes on the LA, while I was 3nm away facing LA, thus torpedoes too. Hopeless situation.
I ordered eniges full and full rudder right. One of the torpedoes aquired me, other one hit the bottom. I managed to drop 2 pairs of countermeasures. When I was on heading like 120 degrees against my original course pinging stopped. I commanded engines stop. On BB I could see that torpedo was going around, simply ignoring both me and CMs.
When I watched it on Replay, I could se that torpedo really locked on me, it never went for CMs (which is ok, I threw them quite wildly). It did about 45 degrees left turn to match my turn .. and then, when it got into my rear hemisphere .. it lost me. It just stopped to turn and continued stright. Well I went like 'phew .. that was close' .. but what exactly happened there ?
