Yes, there is a baffle zone for Active Intercept too. At least on LA class, it is the same baffle zone on the sphere sonar sensor, 60 degree on the stern.
on the other hand, active torp's lock range is greatly reduced when coming from stern. In my testing I found out a MK48 ADCAP can get a lock on imp LA's port side at 1.5 nmi away. but when coming from bow and stern, the range reduced to 1000 yds. That make sense as the Sub's front and side has different size signature. And you are right, if you have good Situation Awareness and know there is active torp in the baffle, a couple CM plus maneuver should dodge the active torp(prefer to be 30 degree off with torp's course ), if there is a layer, change the depth to the other side. Unfortunately for a passive torp is chasing at your baffle, it is very hard to dodge by using the tactic mentioned above
So it is a very dangerous situation if a both an active Torp and a passive Torp chase the player's Sub in its baffle. Good news is the same trick can work on AI's sub.
