The only thing you can do is pick the bearing furthest away from the contact, go ahead flank, drop countermeasures like crazy and, assuming depth permits, blow ballasts and hope your rate of rise exceeds the torpedo's ability to correct. You really need to be lucky in this situation. If there are surface ships waiting for you, you are still in trouble. However, you will have at least avoided the torpedo. If you do not have enough depth to do this, then the only thing you can do is hope you can kite the torpedo long enough to pull off the countermeasure-dodge tactic. If the torpedoes get dropped on top of you, you will not have time to do anything and you are already dead. Air-dropped torpedoes are
nasty. NEVER give a platform capable of air-dropping torpedoes a reason to do so. You are already dead unless it is simply not your time to die.
