Thanks!
Hi Luke,

Today, I made another test. I choose FBM441117. The boat was Balao class with SJ-1 /SD-1.
Starting (21h30), bearing was 45° and speed 10kts. As in the first test, I "stood" in front of the radar screen. At 22h30/40, first contact on screen, azimut 10°, at an estimated range of 35000 yds and closing.
The radioman didn't report anything until the range was slightly under 20000 yds.
Just after receiving radioman radar contact report, for test purpose, I asked for visual contact report, and received an positiv id (long range). It was night but the weather was clear.
Using the SJ-1 + map, I was able to gain the position I consider good enough to dive and beginning the attack run. Guiding with sound (thanks to Sergei mod) on the attack chart, until I periscope-depthed, unloaded all my 10 tubes, and escaped at 2 kts / 200ft. (1 tanker and 2 cargos destroyed + Escort-carrier damaged )
I experienced 3 lags on the radar display during my approach, as if the antenna rotation stopped.

The mission ended abruptly, by a freeze, but I was able to escaped to the main menu. (so not really a CTD )

RFB_2.0 (RFB_2.0_Patch1)/RSRDC_RFB_V575 (RSRDC_V5xx_Patch1)

Hope this help.
