Launch Transients and Seeing Weapons

This is where Dangerous water got it wrong. Your crew cannot monitor sound from all around the sub at all time at max range. If you have a possible contact and is actively (not active sonar) listening in that direction. You might pick up a far away launch. If not, you may not detect the torp until you pick up the screw noise or until the sonar goes active. Also, a Real world tactic is to launch from tubes on the side of the sub away from the contact to use the hull to help block the launch tanscient which I don't think is currently modeled in game.
