Need tactical help on a mission for SC

Hello,

My tactics problem is with SC patched to 1.08 + SCU/SCX

I am playing with the nice mission "2P - Multi" that features a duel between a 688 and an Akula on a relatively small zone that have some randomly generated civilian traffic.
This mission is the first scenario from that list :
http://www.subguru.com/missions.htm

During that mission i stay at +/- 4 knots and change regularly my depth to see if i can spot the Akula easier, as unfortunately the civilian traffic can parasite my broadband (and the one from the Akula too)
The thermal layer is between 400 and 500.

My problem is that each time i finally manage to find the Akula while moving around all that civilian sounds parasite on my sonars, i am setting my fire solution and fire my Mk48 torpedoes, the Akula usally very few seconds later, or in the same time, opens fire too.

And when we were able to detect each other, apparently we are usually around +/- 10 nmi of each other.

The Akula launch a bunch (5 or 6) of SS-N-27 ASW and Stalions missiles that fly very quickly +/- to my location and launch their torpedoes payload when they are over my positions, so in few seconds i am the target of 5/6 torpedoes.

With some lucks and desesperate evasion moves with some active decoy, i am only hit once, but the damage is enough to get me crawling, then usually a Shkvall follow at high speed and achieve my already badly damaged 688.

And during all this time my slow Mk48 are always in the water looking for their target with no more hope to hit anything as i can't steer them anymore.

This mission featuring random starting locations for the 2 subs allow a lot of replay value, but it does not help in building the whole strategy as the situation will always be different, as the civilian traffic may or may not parasite each subs own noise.

So for my help requirement on tactic and strategy in this mission, let's assume the civilian traffic is right between the 688 and the Akula.

The Akula is playable too in this mission, but as the 688 driver how can i manage to defeat the Akula in this mission without being hit by the huge amount of torpedoes spawning nearly around me thanks to those Stallions and SS-N-27 ASW.
