Timbob,

Ok, you've given me more to think about. I like it and am always looking for more tactics!! :p

Meduza,

Your great reply led me to do more research and re-read the tutorial a few more times.

Pisces,

I wasn't completely following your post, though I went back and watched a couple videos. The light as they say hadn't completely come on. Then you added the excellent image. That completely cleared it up.

I shall report my next attempt within 24 hours, if we survive the current barrage of Depth Charges.

Follow-up Question:

Since it's daytime in this situation, why should I be on surface for an approach?

Wouldn't it be better to stay submerged, undetected and not give the target any reason to alter course?

I'm going at this from the standpoint that my Sonar guys been terribly late/non-existent with reports. In three instances (I can think of) I've personally spotted a contact at medium range closing fast using the attack periscope and then lo and behold Mr. No Ears himself screams it out.

What's the general opinion on such a situation?

Thanks guys - you've been a huge help. ^5ss
