Thanks for your reply. I just went and tried sinking the 3 Russian subs again with "show truth" constantly on. The Victor did launch counter-measures, but what do they do except attempt to lure your torpedo to home on them instead of the submarine? The Victor stayed at a depth of 200 feet all the time, all it did is go full speed for a bit and then suddenly went to 4 knots again when my torpedo was getting close to it. Every time my torpedo missed it I used wire guiding to turn it around and try again, but it will not home on to the Victor. I even tried firing 3 torpedoes at the same time, but they all missed it.
Actually, the Akula II did try to maneuver as you said, it went deeper and then suddenly went up to 100 feet at the last moment, but the MK48 still hit it and it sunk.
I like the campaign better in Sub Command than in Dangerous Waters, but I already encountered many bugs in Sub Command, so that's why I think a bug is a possibility here. I might not be a bug for this specific mission, but rather a bug with the Victor III class submarines being immune to torpedoes homing onto them.
