When patrolling the campaign map I can head towards a visible enemy, I see the enemy heading towards me (often as a result of running too fast), or I don't see the enemy and - pop - in all these cases I get to the mission screen.

But now there are some puzzles to resolve: chosing the range?

What you really mean, Killerfish Games, is not the range but a random seed!
Because:

I only get to know the range to target after an elaborated TMA work. When I get it to 80% or better (on Realistic or Elite) the last unknown number will be the range. Ok. Back to the mission screen.

At mission start, I don't have all this TMA. So how the hell am I able to chose my range to target, do I have god's eye ??

Please Killerfish Games make this more clear here and in your manual. I think you have chosen the bad wording. Shouldn't it read:

- Chose a random distance to enemy within : 10, 15, 25 kyds (which has the only purpose to randomize the gameplay)
- Man Battlestations

If you are detected first, then if you chose 25 the enemy will be randomly placed at the max. distance where it can detect you. Can be much closer due to rough sea and strong duct conditions!
Your disadvantage > You don't have any choice. (Seems to work as intented)

If you detect the enemy first, then you will be placed in a random position at that distance from the enemy
Your advantage > Your choice (Seems broken currently > BUG)

That's how I have reconstructed it. But does it work so? If yes, then this 'Close To' choice should go in the GAME OPTIONS, not in a mission briefing !!

Thanks to elaborate!
