I was able to pick up his countermeasure on active sonar? I didn't think that would make such a strong impact on active as it would on passive (just noise).

I eagerly await your next version lol
If you can get an audio return, you can tag him. That's a detection, not an "invisable" kilo. The rescaling of ASLs in 3.09 was based on the FFG-Kilo balance, don't expect that to change in LWAMI 3.10. If the Kilo's ASL gets adjusted up, the FFGs active will be turned down to compensate.
