Hi guys - sorry - didnt get any new notifications..

shazley - yr tuts are gr8! and also re-ignited my thirst to improve, I recently tried the DW misisons, and started getting better. your tips on trying narrow band makes it ALOT easier - i was used to the 688 method of broadband.

I also reel in the towed array if its +- 300ft for dragging etc, sometimes i like to hit 3kts if theres alot of threat / traffic..

Do you guys still use the broad/narrowband to eliminate false contacts? I think this shd be a priority (unless the mission requires otherwise) - having all these contacts everywhere adds to the confusion imo!

tx Pisces - some good tips ill look into - gah, forgot to mention i played an older dos game called Seawolf - thats where it all started! I loved it -

Ill look around, but is there a sticky for basic sonar ops here somewhere, like what range the different arrays are, what to use them for, and various methods of id'ing contacts?

I hope noone was offended by my bluntness, just frustrated! i LOVE these games, the suspense and challenge, just havent managed to "crack" the newer games.

Ill keep trying though!

once again shaz - gr8 tuts, tx for the time! ill go back and keep trying!
