Just starting out with RFB and have a question or two. Just stumled upon a troop carier and although it showed up on the nav map as a square...when I zoomed in it dissapeared. The crew had spotted it and it was there just 5000yards away but nothing on the map. How am I supposed to get a speed reading ??

And is it me or is it overly quiet on the sub.....there seems to be no audible indication of speed change, not sure if the helmsman even acknowedges the speed change either?

Also if using TC radio reports are easily missed if you are not actually looking at the message box...TMO drops out or at least slows down I believe when a radio message comes in ??
