"In addition, the target seems to disappear as the torpedo closes in. I have seen the torpedo "strike" nothing in the water with incredible explosions, as the "Lost contact..." alert is spoken."
"Supposedly, Hide Low SOL. Contacts" will only show objects your sub's sensors can actually detect. This may not include targets your wire torps detect when outside visual range. I'm not sure the game is completely consistent with the rules about what you can see in 3D or not.
Torps from nowhere...
Guessing you did not detect the enemy launch transient, so only detected the torp when it got near enough or started pinging. If the enemy fired from the other side of the layer from you, this can happen.
Are you playing beta or 1.07d?
