TMA, no DEMON, no LOS switch

Looking at this situation further, it appears to be a 'whoever blinks first' kind of deal. I'd hazard to say that if both are tracking one another, but neither has a firm solution yet, the sub that takes the initiative by changing LOS will actually be at a disadvantage. His opponent will be able to get an immediate rough range while he will have to wait for his TA to stabilize and get another line or two before he gets one.

I wonder about changing course every two minutes. It would definately throw off an opponent's TMA, but would your own TA have time to stabilize and give you an accurate bearing line between turns?
