I play on GWX. Usually my situation is one where I've set an intercept course on a convoy, but when I get there, and hear/plot their course from the sonar, I discover that I'm a few km off. I need to get in position quickly (before the convoy passes me) and silently (so I don't get noticed) and often times I end up having to make a choice between making very long shots (3-4k m) or ending up at a bad angle behind the convoy, or trying to get my targeting solution in 30 seconds b/c they are already at 345 degrees or going faster and possibly being noticed (if the destroyers have passive sonar). I guess I'll just have to do a little trial and error and see if they can hear me if I'm chugging those last couple km at 5-6 knots.
Will the destroyers be using their passive while they are cruising along escorting? Or do they just use it when they are actively hunting for me and not using active?
