    Talking about turning on sensors when missles are after you, from the
experience with Falcon2.2, the only thing you can do is fire chaff or flare
depending on whether missles are radar guiding or heat tracking, both
try to confuse the missle's sensors, and there is no way one can shoot down
an anti-air missle, so have a good lock on them won't help while give away
one's exact location. When topedo follows your sub, is similer situation,
one better turn his sonar off (as well as engin) and change depth, launch
a noisy decoy will help a lot. For surface ship, I agree one can only run
like hell away from the topedos so knowing their exact positions will help.
