You're right, just forgot to mention 'current situation'.
In the game (not sure how is was in RL) an attacker would approach slowly, then accelerate when it drops DCs (tries not to sink itself). I'm usually on the hydrophone monitoring all these guys, worming my way through the attacks.

MM44 , there is also a bit of computer (AI) logic to get accustomed to - as indicated by Steve. By adjusting your depth during an attack you generally foil the attack.
