Im still playing around early -40s and most of my patrols go outside the east coast of britain, where I tend to never find any good fishes to catch. So when I arrive at my patrol area, I need a way to find the fishes.
Im curious if anyone has a better approach on finding the ships than what I do currently. That is to be on the surface for 2 hours, dive down to 20m below and use the hydrophone to find anyone. If I find anything I go back up to the surface, try to get a good course against the found target and drive for 20mins. Then I dive down to 20m again, and try to pinpoint it using the hydrophone, which I repeat until I either find it or lose it. Then I go back to the 2 hours shifts. Any ideas or suggetions would be nice, and perhaps an explaination on how they really did it!
BTW, how far away ships can I pick up with the hydrophone. Note Im still using the IIA with the default hydrophone, the darn BDU hasnt shipped me the new subs yet. I guess they must have found my records of joyriding the subs when going home.
