Arleigh Burke problems

ASM's...from far away or short range = same result - all my missles get shot down and I'm always detected and shots sent my way always kill me.

53cm torps = Short range works, but they are too weak so you have to send at least 2, (3 is better) however, you can nearly bet that the return fire will kill you. Almost no chance.

53cm long range = torps only good out to 10 mi. Long range impossible because the AB out runs the range and wire is cut. Impossible.

63cm wake and 53 wake, no guidance and if you're too short range, = impossible because of the return fire. Long range = AB has plenty of time, always detects torps, and simply speeds up and gets out of the way causing torps to miss.

So in short, I'm out of short range options and long range options.

The SS-N-27ASM can overwhelm the Burke in a saturation attack. For best results you'll want to fire from long range and enable the missiles from about 40km away. If you fire from close range, the Burke will hear the launch and/or detect the missiles on radar during the boost phase, and will ready its defenses, but if you surprise it, you'll get a few extra seconds as it "wakes up."

For a torpedo attack, just fire from inside no-escape range. (Or, if you want to stay away from ASROCs, fire from under the layer, if available, outside ASROC range and let the torps get close... works best if the target speed is relatively high, if it's slow it might be listening under the layer on its TA). Get a little closer if you're using wakehomers and expect to lose one weapon to the Nixie if you're using acoustic homing.

There really isn't anything special about the Burke, from the point of view of a submarine. It's just like any other warship armed with SAMs and ASROCs.

The AS-4 Kitchen is obsolete and should not be able to penetrate a screen of multiple AEGIS ships.
