Hello,

I was attacking two subs, when I was a bit too cautious/too passive, loitered a bit too long and an enemy detected me. He launched two torps at my current position, and shot one to the south, into my predicted escape path. I quickly snapshot two of my own towards him, on passive. One would eventually catch up with him and take him out. When I noticed he launched those torps, I immediately went flank and got out of the way before they activated.

The third torpedo (that was a pretty good prediction by the AI! or was it luck?) was going to be a bit of a problem, so I slowed down, launched a MOSS towards it to fool it. It worked.

I immediately went flank again to create some distance, when I noticed one of the torpedoes I shot at the enemy sub came back for my own MOSS!

I quickly launched another MOSS to try and fool it, but it was only fooled momentarily. I went vertical as hard as I could, and even blasted up to the surface. Narrowly avoided the mk48, and it convincingly went for my MOSS after all.

I was now on the surface, 0 kts, and the mk48 homing in on my MOSS 700 feet lower. When it caught up to the MOSS, it did another 180 and ... it picked me up. 700 feet up, stationary, a passive mk48 picked me up and blew me up.

Now my question is: HOW could this happen?!
