Unfortunately, the helicopter takes 60 min to get ready in the North Atl mission. By the time it's ready, it's all over.
For knowing when the torp has acquired, sonobuoys seemed like they would take too long to launch and read, but i guess now that i think about it, it could work depending on range. Like you said, your own sonar stuff is washed out cuz i'm usually moving too fast to hear anything. And i'm usually turned away from the torp.
Played it last night, can't believe I never "listened" for the target on active sonar. It was alot more fun (and fair) now that i can hear them with active. Altho, it was a pain to blindly click and mark, but it worked. I just did the single band stream, moved it around till i heard him and marked. I was easier to find.
Thx for info on the nixie. One other question, do i deploy the nixie as soon as i get a torp launch indication or wait till it acquires?
