What is the SSP station XBT report?
I can detect some of the ships from a long range if I use the narrow band sonar from a good range. However if I use the broadband sonar I cannot hear any of them even when they are less than 10nm from me. It was the same in missions where I played as an Akula Improved. I stay deep to avoid detection.
