As well (yes may be it works like you are saying in the game), by beeing just behind chaff you are looking at Fly Up and Fly through situations. This killed the Atlantic Conveyor during the Falklands war.

As you said, it's a game tactic (I must confess I've nerver been on a real OHP )
goal is to put lots of chaff beetween me and the missiles.
With this manoeuver (going behind the CM wall), I don't go exactly 180° from missile because you need to get more than that to go really behind => flank and full rudder until you are behind.
during that, you give your 3/4 rear to the missile, that is WAY more lower RCS than the side of the ship.
This coupled with a CM wall + CIWS works really very nice, especially if you managed to reduce the threat with SM2.
The main problem is simply you must really train for this because there is lots of this to do in a few time.
But when you are trained, you improve a lot your chances to survive to a missile attack.

yes
once the torp ID at TA (and tracked)
if it's a wake homer => 5 knts and change course (you will NEVER be hit by a wake homer if you proceed this way)
if it's an active torp => 120° from the TIW and flank for at least 4 minutes before using again TA
reacting soon save life 95% of time, except against advanced torpedoes, of course.
But a simple fregate is just a small toy against a nuke sub if the sub commander know a little the job ...
