What difficulty level are you playing at?

So many variables. Not enough info in your question.
Running a 688/688i with difficulty set to Realistic. I generally have trouble with landing forces missions so I've got the Kashin/Krivak/Udoloy escorts to deal with as a screen for the landing forces.

Generally my attack tactics for surface forces are as follows.
I start out at 15k yards if I'm confident I can handle it. Do my ID work at PD popping the scope up and down once per target. If I fail to acquire visually I'll drop down to 500 feet/shadow zone and do my signature work there.

As soon as I start hearing the pings I slow/rig for silent running and start presenting the narrowest profile I can to the active source/sources while keeping an eye on the Own ship numbers. Typically at most they'll only get a whiff.

And I just now realize what I've been doing wrong. I'm rushing my attacks to work around real life. Babies don't wait for dad to be done playing his sims!
