All;

After years of not playing any subsim whatsoever, I fired up SH4 a couple nights ago and it seems like I'm back to square one as far as learning how to approach. I set up my S18 for a task force approach, and I was only about 200-300yds out from the predicted track line, so I put 'er in park for about 45 mins in-game-time....

...then a destroyer came along, immediately pinged me, and game over. What gives? I wasn't moving at all, I didn't have my periscope or radar mass raised, he just...pinged me sitting still then nailed me.
