It's slow playing for sure, cut the cams and contacts off and it can be tedious. I played like that for a long time, now I mostly play cams off with contacts on, maybe every other patrol cut both off.
I use the radar mod with the 3 minute rule, not perfect, but I can pretty much get close, do my tracking and try to get way ahead. The pain is if you catch a zig leg in which the group changes course, with RSRD this can be about 30-50nms, so the radar mod is a must.
Once I can get a visual, it becomes easier and get my speeds with the scope.
With cams and contacts off, evasion can take hours, you bout have to play real time so you can hear, but it's fun being trapped in the sub.
I would love a mod that didn't show contact icons, but still show sonar lines.
