lol Great... Shoot and dive dive dive right? That's all I can do.
It's assumptions like the one in my previous post that are going to get my crew and I killed!

All the different ways of detection are something to remember in themselves. Factoring in changing technology throughout the course of a campaign is a lot for a newb like me to remember.
Is there a consolidated reference chart or list of basics hidden somewhere in the forums? I'm running the latest Trigger Maru...
How come while flanking a small convoy, I could see smoke from two freighters on the horizon while my crew could make no visual? Are they inexperienced or is there a maximum range?
And can enemy planes really only spot you from a maximum of 5 nm? I would have thought they'd be able to spot you from a longer range. Especially on calm water.
Sooo many questions...
Thanks.
