Just started a new Open Horizons II campaign with real navigation and I'm in the Baltic off Danzig and there's a sub nearby. I'm trying to track a Polish minelayer and a destroyer which are patrolling nearby (weather is clear, no wind, no waves - dangerous to surface at daytime). Keep getting a sonar contact but my hydrophone cant ID it. Sound is a faint twin screw turbine though. I haven't properly located it yet though because I don't want to waste my effort doing a full four bearing track of it and then lose the more dangerous contacts...
In the past I've usually found engaging them pointless because as soon as you open up with the deck gun they'll submerge (unless you get them with a lucky shot early on) and once they're under you've got no chance with the torpedoes.
