You can see my last report at the top. My sub is almost sunk and being shot at and my crew still doesn't see anything.....

You have to really plan your attacks. It was early war and no surface radar, gets a little easier after that......but I now love it since I know how it reacts.

You can barely make out the smoke of the DD WAY off shooting me up. It measured 6500 yards.

If you play with cam and contacts off, it helps to cut them on for awhile until you learn how things respond.....
