You mean sub's CMs ? They are pretty effective. Everybody use them. Stock CMs are way too much effective. LWAMI mod makes them less effective in fact (by torpedoes not exploding on CMs).

Usage is simple. You need to launch correct CM (torpedo will be mostly active if it you are in sub). But for start, launch always both passive and active.

Then you have to run away from the torpedo. Torpedo usually picks the nearest contact, not the biggest. So if you continue toward the torpedo, it will still home on you anyway. With stock DW run just away from torpedo, and go deep (so you wont cavitate much). Drop few CMs on the way.

With LWAMI, you need to make sharp turn after each CM and you have to know quite well where the torpedo is, since torpedo will try to reaquire the target after each CM.

Best tactic against torpedoes launched far from you is to clear the area. Turn 90 degrees to the torpedo's path and run like hell. When torpedo activates, you just won't be there.

Best tactic against helo dropped torpedoes is not to get detected at all :rotfl:
You have not much options against those. Same for the rocket torpedoes, but I guess in stock DW they overshoot the target so they are pretty weak.
