Thanks for the reply, Steve!
I'm using the GWX gold mod and everything is on realistic except I use external view and stabilized view.
So even though I don't know what the contact on the map is (friend or foe), I can go to external and move to their location to check their flag.
With that said, it has been extremely challenging (or frustrating!) for me.. but I enjoy that. I did start with a different mod, and it seemed too easy. Every ship I hit sunk right away. With GWX, man it's tough!...
And now I see what you're saying, those buggers are persistent!!

I'll take your advice about the shallow water.. it seems suicidal!

Can you clarify something? When you say "go silent" does this just mean the setting where you tell the chief engineer to run silent or does it mean that and ALSO turn everything else and stop? The reason I ask is that when I give the command to run silent, we're still moving slow, I can go to flank speed, but.. am I still silent?? Is the only way to be silent, just to shut everything off and drift?

Also, you're saying I should move towards the attacking destroyer? I want to make sure I understand.

All I do is zig zag and panic lol!!!!!

and hope..
