I classified them using the Narrowband display and all, but no luck. Its probably something very simple im missing here. Any Pointers?

About the only change made that significantly effects how old tactics work is that torps explode on decoys in DW and DW 1.02+ has a strong layer effect.. Of course LW/ami takes care of the decoy thing. =) So, just about everything that was helpful in SC works in DW too.

Well im slowly getting the hang of it. I know how to get to where im going and set waypoints, launch weapons and all that good stuff, but right now the Sonar is really baffling me(Take this morning when I was driving a 688i). I can see contacts on my narrowband and broadband, im able to classify them using the narrowband I just dont know what to do from there, like how to find the range, speed and all that while staying deep and using the sonar. Also im still confused with the mirror image on the towed array. The real contact will always stay on the same berring if I make a 90 degree turn while the mirrored one with move down the narrowband to follow the turn? Also sometimes I try to designate trackers to these contacts I detect but many times nothing will happen, the button clicks but no tracker number will be assigned. Ive read the manual and some 3rd party guides but its still another world for me.

Pretty much what im saying is I can see the contacts on the sonar but where to go from there is a total mystery. Ive been making turns and changing speed and all that good stuff but its useless because i just dont know what im supposed to be doing. I know i should do that, but not sure why and what to do after that. Sorry for the rant, its frustrating but im having a blast too.


Oh and Kaptian I just got your inbox message, i didnt notice you put a PS in the very first message of this post. When I get off work i will add you on msn and go from there.
