Of course, it's up to you.
Straight searching torpedoes and wire breaks ought to fix this problem. The straight searching torpedoes will probably make double kills a lot more frequent because someone who counter fires a straight search torpedo will have their torpedo arrive at right about the same time the recon-torpedo shooter's torpedo does.

The wire breaks will force them to close a little bit more if they want to maintain the wire, or fire torpedoes in cleverly designed patterns to improve one's chances statistically.

It won't make recon-by-torpedo a completely ineffective tactic, but it will definitely take some of the fangs out of it, making it a lot more dangerous and uncertain when it makes sense and how well it will work. That makes sense to me.
