I kept asking the crew, but they kept saying they couldn't see anything 14 miles out.

Like I said, it was some heavy seas. The target kept appearing and disappearing, so it was hard to determine exactly when it was in or out of the beam. Probably not the best for testing this out.

That's four radar training misisons and one TDC training mission all accessible from the Submarine School off the main menu. Each mission has full instructions in the mission brief: |
Already downloaded them. Once I finish the patrol I'm on, I'll install them and give it a try.
