Sub to Sub combat: Surface vs underwater limitation

Salute.

I'm guessing that torp launch depth is limited by pressure concerns on the tube(s), don't know, I imagine thats reduced with the newer subs, but I guess my question is, how does one have combat with another sub? Only option is to wait until your above 20m and hope that the target falls within the torp depth seting range? Anyone know?

Ive encountered more than once UK subs which dive to evade, tried ramming him as only appearent option, but Im guessing due to lack of momentum and water effect, he merely, in typical british politeness, merely backs away from me and tries to go away...

Do the later torpedos magnetic sensors / tracking ability play into this at all?
