I will search, now that I know what to look for. I'm getting better at researching the forums so I'll give it a second shot. The task force I found using hydrophones also, but I was having trouble keeping up their pace, so I surfaced to close the distance.

I have IRAI v30 installed and i must to prepare my attack very well to not have problems .. so in my opinion IRAI is the brain of sh5 - and yes i use uboat tactics that i read on the net and it is working

Awesome! Thats what I was hoping for! Nothing more fun than applying what you've learned.

about the surfaces attacks i do not plane my attacks at surface but i know Magnum like very much the surface attack in night time... maybe he can give you some trics

I'll have to bug him about that.

btw... what you means by battlestations? - you mean that you send all crew to battlestation in the time you are doing an attack or an evasion?

I usually try to activate battle stations prior to the attack, usually once I've made contact. That way its already active incase of emergency (such as the one I had). I keep it running throughout evasions unless my damages require me to devote the crew to repairs rather than their stations. In the attack I described, I had not yet made the call to battlestations because I hadn't yet made a visual contact, so I called it on the way down during my emergency dive.
