Well, I've been trying them all. But am a bit confused on the detection process. Here's what I have seen:
Orginally, I would be in say in an OHP FFG and be sailing around on the briny sea
... sooner or later I would get some contacts here and there. Fine and dandy...then more ... more...til it looked like there was a group of six or so ships sailing next to or very close to each other.
Certainly, the captains wouldn't be that nuts.... so I am presuming each sound/radar contact I was picking up was showing up as a vessel on the surface. E-Gads!
So...I read the manual some...read about this filter called "Show Truth" ...VOILA! Al the contacts cleared up to show just what actual ships were there.
The problem was....with Show Truth being ON, when I start a mission, I see exactly what vessel is where and how P.O.'d they are at my country....(i.e. Friend or Foe). OK ... so I'm all for a little help, but this is way to much help as I have this magic eye in the sky persay. To me, that feels like cheating so I don't want to use that.
Is there a happy medium??
Going back in with Show Truth OFF, I sail into a foreign place just for kicks (this time in a Kilo going into a Russian port who don't like me very well). I can see the ships through the scope but I'll be darned if my crew can report on the map just what the heck those floaty thingies are up there. Schmucks! Perhaps they just can't read the Chinese gauges... :hmm: Giving them the benefit of the doubt, I surface....right in the middle of their port mind you, surely the lookouts can tell me now! (I know what they are but am testing the crew, you see...) Nope still report unknown contact ahead.
That's when I tossed the crew overboard and went ashore to get drunk.
