It's a gamble on how close to you the enemy has set his torp arming range. All I know is I'd be nervous as hell. I mean with an active homing torpedo you know when he's active and when he has you. A passive torpedo you never know.

I know that when I am under attack I do one of two things depending on range. One is if it's close range is to launch countermeasures, snapshot and reload , turn away, hit flank, go deep, if acquired then launch again and go shallow.

If long range or if I'm in a tight space like a harbour,I drop an active countermeasure and reload. Then I either go very shallow or hug the bottom, turn my stern or bow towards the torp if possible to reduce profile. And go all stop. Then if it's an active torp I hope it will go for the countermeasure or I go with idea 1 if it doesn't. If it's passive I prey I'm making a good impersonation of empty water :p
