Quite right, SafeKeeper, they haven't said their list is exhaustive, so I am guilty of not reading carefully what is written. I dislike others sounding off like that, so apologise for doing it myself. I also appreciate your pointing it out (not being sarcastic, btw!). :rock:

As for tact, I'm happy to apologise to the developers if such a comment caused any discomfort. My point, if not expressed especially delicately, was that the effects of speed of escort, bearing to sub, sea state, depth, sea bottom (if shallow) type, disturbed water following DCs etc. are all well studied and known factors, so there should be little need to state a desire that they be considered. The fact that the list doesn't cover these is what caused me to comment on their fundamental nature when simulating an escort's ability to dectect a submerged sub.

So, not wishing to offend anyone, but also not wishing to pass on the fact that some of these things really shouldn't need to be asked about.

Cheers
