A few questions

What advantage would there be in using passive vs. active search mode by your torpedo?
It seems to me that active just broadcasts the presence of your torp more obviously by its pinging. However I find that no matter what mode I go with, the target is aware of my torp, & dumping countermeasures.
Perhaps I need to try using passive & limit torpedo speed to a crawl. That way it could truly sneak up on my target. Ill give that a go.

On the opposite side, if you find a torp in the water, what countermeasure to use? I just put a passive & an active between me and threat and run. I don't understand the science behind passive & active countermeasures. Do you use passive cm if you think that the enemy does not know your position, & active if your certain they do?
Is there a good book that somene might reccomend that explains all this?

finally in game how do you know when your torpedo has aquired, so you can cut the wire?
