Most scenarios that I've played usually place me behind them initially, so a parallel course on a fast boomer ~5 nm out would still place me outside of my TAs coverage. Furthermore, even my starboard array has significant self noise at 15 kts, and washes out completely at 16-17 kts.
I've tried doing this: getting a good TMA solution at 5 kts, go beneath layer and rush towards the target all ahead / flank (diving deep enough to avoid cavitation), then slowing down again to reacquire the target. Problem with this approach is that I'm usually counterdetected (even if not cavitating), or the boomer has changed course in the interim and I'm far off target.
