Why shoot captors from sub when you can shoot torpedo ? Give me one example where it would be an advantage.

P3 is different, because it does not know exact location of target. It also moves really fast. It can use minefields in tactical way.

Sub has no reason. Launching captor is only risk of counterdetection.

Well .. now I have found a usage. Imagine you have unknown contact pretty far away. Looks like sub, but you don't know if friendly or hostile (very rare situation anyway, because of 50/60Hz line). So you shoot your captor toward the target, knowing, that captor can make the distinction as it gets close. Question is .. do we want such usage ?
