Hey everyone. I first wanted to say I really like these boards and have gotten a lot of great info here over the years.

I used to play a lot of SH3 and finally was able to pickup SH4. I'm having a REALLY hard time attacking convoys. In about 10 intercept attempts, I've been detected by Japanese destroyers every single time and either driven off or destroyed. I never seemed to have this problem in SH3.

I think I'm doing everything right. I arrive at the intercept point early. I submerge, engage silent running and either order dead stop or go 1/3 speed. However, the lead destroyers ALWAYS detect me with their active sonar before I get close to the merch ships.

Am I doing something wrong? I'm in the Porpoise class. Does that make a difference? I'm getting pretty frustrated and and too proud to turn down the realism settings.

Thanks!
