I play the FFG all the time, theres an entire doctrine i wrote about it and how to use it and bouy patterns its availible on commanders academy and also subguru i believe, if not PM your email address il send it over.
The main way to combat a submarine is not to be found yourself.
Basic rule of thumb:
Speed less than 5 knots
EMCON (radars off) if nesserserry short bursts
Let the helos do the leg work
Stay shallow if possible and get close to land
CWIS on auto and always load up SM2 have it on the rail ready
Drop bouys 5.6nm to 6nm apart diffrent bouys do diffrent jobs
Try not give yourself away that your hunting so mainly use passives then when a passive detects something if needbe sink a dicass in to get a lock, most sub skippers hear the pings from the bouys if they are active and can steer away of dive so let it be nice and quiet and play them at thier own game.
Helos loose your control when they reach 30 miles away from your ship make sure you also set the Control panel to air ship search.
