Down the throat shots work very well even with TMaru+RSRDC+NSM 100% difficulty, since the enemy doesn't react to torpedoes in any way. Flank speed, scope up and keep it there. The enemy will home on it and usually zigzag a bit, but the shot is still fairly easy if you wait until about 500 meters before firing. Although you might not sink or even considerably damage the enemy, he will usually break off his attack run. A hit on one of them also seems to discourage the others, and sometimes they just turn away. Note that I only excercise this as a defensive measure when caught on the surface or at periscope depth, and will go deep immediately after the first escort has made his run. I do not mess with ASW ships if I can avoid them, but I also do not reject a target just because it's well defended.
