I dont claim to be ' in the know' but have always felt SC/SCX/DW unrealistic in implementing 'baffles.'

In real life I can understand that operational proceedures may preclude regular cruising with the TA
deployed and therefore the limited Sph. range and stern baffle provides stalking opportunities.
If you stalk you would not approach to a range where your target could tack to a bearing 'quickly'
which would reveal you. So that implies a range outside Sph. Conf. coverage.

In- game there are no limitations other than speed/reverse for TA useage.The norm MP is to run
with TA out except possibly in emergencies or in shallow waters. Stalking a target sub at 'range' by
hiding in its baffles presupposes a blind spot at the rear of the sub. There is no TA rear baffle implemented.

Having some basic understanding of real TA construction I would have expected considerable degradation
in the TA receptivity around the 180 deg arc. If this isnt 'classified ' info perhaps someone can enlighten us ? :hmm:
