Alright god damn it, this is really driving me crazy! I have a save-game of a simple scenario in which I have a solid solution on an enemy sub I think is a diesel boat because of its TPK. I'm around 18 kyds away and am ready to fire. Now here's the thing, I could fire below the layer and be almost positive of a hit, but I'm trying to practice terminal guidance. Every time I have tried firing above the layer I miss.

When my fish are about halfway between me and him, I hear him accelerate and then disappear below te layer. I then duck below the layer to keep tracking. Below the layer, I can still detect a single tonal on the towed array, but can't pick up BB sphere or NB hull. I can still manage to guide my weapons to within about two miles of the target, even the one I've preset to search under the layer won't acquire. I simply can't track him accurately enough to get my weapons within the necessary acquisition range (which seems to be ridiculously close, like 1000 yards). I also can't let the torpedoes do their own snake pattern cause the AI will immediately make a sharp turn in an either left or right (closing or opening with me) and I can't tell which direction he's turned fast enough to guide the fish.

I'd love to somehow post this save-game and see if you experienced players have any problems sinking the sub. This scenario has proven to me that my TMA skills are adiquate, but the two minute updates just don't seem to be enough for terminal guidance when under the layer. Can someone tell me how I'd go about uploading/posting the file or do I have to individually e-mail it?
