G'day guys - I'm sure this has been covered before.

Just wondering if you had any tips on defeating the Kilos.

I'm getting better at finding them (2 knots creep in seems to work) - but when I launch Mk 48s, he responds with USET-80 torps...

The RA database says these torpedos are impossible to evade (wake homing) - so I was wondering if you had any tips?

I guess the simple answer is to get as close as possible before firing (so that he doesn't get the chance to fire)...but that'd be white-knuckle stuff in a Western SSN...

Any other ideas?

Cheers
Stew
