Gents,

I would like to know how you patrol out for contacts? I can't seem to rely on my sonarman to tell me when there are contacts around (I noticed the sonar contacts only get updated when TC is set to or below 250x). Do you regularly stop and manually listen to the sonar array... or what?

I am usually cruising to my patrol area at about 3000x TC... and almost NEVER get contact reports while on the way there or back.

Mind, I am on the 2nd patrol with no radar yet, but it is going to be hugely annoying if I have to man the sonar station myself all the time...
