Unfortunately that wasn't the case Molon Labe. But that was a smart thought

My countermeasures had been passed by the torpedoes

In fact none of the torpedoes were acquiring me as one was completely oblivious of me(running at shallow depth without snaking while I was at 1600feet) and the other was still snaking at deep depth. But everytime that snaking torpedo snake into my direction I get that awful very rapid pinging. But it still hadn't acquired me for sure because it was still snaking.

My best guess is that it has something to do with that particular torpedo type being launched. Does LWAMI introduce different behavior script for different torpedo type?
The torpedo was launched from the Trafalgar so all I need to do is to look at a British torpedo script file.

Here's a little something from LWAMI 3.08 Readme file:hmm::
Torpedo Performance—Substantial improvements have been made to torpedo behavior.

1) The search pattern of snaking torpedoes has been reduce from 90 degrees forward arc to 60 degrees forward arc; AI torpedoes fired at submerged contacts will no longer strike nearby surface traffic by mistake; and the AI will now also sometimes fire torpedoes under layers at submerged targets.

2) Torpedoes now have seekers of unique quality and ping frequency, as previously all torpedoes were equally capable of detecting and tracking a target because they all shared a single seeker. The practical effect of this is to make high quality heavyweight torpedoes such as the ADCAP or UGST much more effective weapons individually than lightweight torpedoes such as the Mk50 or SUBROC’s or older out of date torpedoes.

3) Torpedoes will now reliably begin searching again after losing their track or being spoofed by and burning through a countermeasure.

Does Luftwolf still check this forum out? Does anybody know what/which file to look at to view British torpedo pinging frequency?
Maybe it wasn't a bug but it was intended as such that the British pinging frequency is very very rapid even when not locking onto anytarget?
