True. That's why you want to fire multiple torpedoes in an arc. If you imagine each torpedo searching out a strip of water. You want to space them so that the total width of all of the strips of water searched by all the torpedoes covers the entire arc originating at your ship and subtended by the the circle's diameter.

I generally fire in pairs.One noisy shot to get the target moving,having offset it first,followed by a passive shot about when the first torp goes active.They never hear the second one coming because they are always running fast from the first!
I'm still trying to decide if there's a best combination of seeker settings. I'm thinking of it from the perspective of defeating countermeasures.
