...Probably had alot to do with why you were spotted. I prefer anything but perfect weather for my attacks. Noise is always a factor too - made approaches myself that were just a little bit too noisy and spooked my prey long before I was in a postion to shoot. I've never been able to get the scope to "lock" onto a ship at longer than about 7km but you really shouldn't be taking a shot at that range anyways (Wait till you see the whites of their eyes!). If the scope's still giving you a hard time "locking", I've found that sometimes extending it up just a little more can sometimes help (more height = better view) Just some ideas to try...
