This is a new one for me. I listen to the torp when attacking single ships, not during a convoy attack. I wonder if some of the misses were circle runners.

Have never seen a circle runner in GWX. Have had an acoustic chase after me...but no circle runners. Have also had a torpedo bounce off of a ship, get disoriented, and then keep going...in a straight line after me as well.

Two things to do when an acoustic comes after you...kill your noise and/or dive. You can even do both. I think once you get below 20 meters it cannot hit you because it does not go down further than that...but I could be wrong on the depth.
