I'm doing a little better now. I think part of the problem was that I wasn't turning hard enough with the nixie streamed for it to be an effective decoy... the situation that really got me enough to make this post was the little surprise in the "Gunboat Diplomacy" mission. I was hit with a torpedo very shortly after knowing what happened... my sonar operator was good enough to say "torpedo in the water" sometime in between during the 20 or so "loud explosions" from the gun battle with the destroyer.
First thing I tried was running 180 degrees from the bearing I was shot at from, streaming the nixie and zig-zagging... which didn't seem to work out very well. Also the destroyer's guns had damaged my torpedo tubes so I was pretty much helpless until I could get the helo aloft.
