the only time i care to really use the active (as sub) is in a situation where ive gone under a therm in order to get very very very close, and dont want to risk reaquiring and checking tma again. while in a seawolf i came up behind a kilo like this. based on my old tma i expected him to be around 1500m. always a chance it has randomly changed course right ? . come up above therm. decided id single ping to confirm calculated range and bearing and like many others mention i got the sonic return but cant see a thing.
so i fired the torp. he was right where i thought he was
but this is exactly the type of situation the active is intended for, no ?
the expected time between ping and fire torp is presumably going to be very very short. the torp is ready to go , presets are done , i just want to confirm. the split second of advance warning will not help the enemy.
