The water is barely deep enough to use an towed array, so there is no layer. It might have been just sheer luck, but this happens every time, and I didn't see his signal grow stronger.

Also remember the 688I has better sonar equipment than you and can hear you farther away under most conditions, especially when you go +5 knots.

I know that, which is why I tried using my TAIL against that butthole's BOW, in a kind of reverse baffles strategy. I was dead ahead of that guy, so I'm shielded from his TA. His bow is only 2 points more sensitive than mine, and shouldn't be as sensitive as my towed array, which I actually realigned to -10, or TB-23 equivalent, no?
