I'm surprised that sub people haven't responded so far. There's a lot more nuance to the TMA there than there is in airborne platforms.

Something I've noticed about the AI, is that it seems to heavily favor snake searches. I've never seen an AI sub shoot a circle search torpedo. It's like it only ever shoots down a line of bearing, and it usually activates too early. After I realized what it was doing, AI torpedos were easy to evade because they were firing while the area of uncertainty surrounding me was too big. It seems to rely on the idea that if it just shoots enough torpedos at me, eventually one is bound to hit.
