Hi. Any advice Captains?

1. I'm playing a mission where there is a boomer travelling at 15kts somewhere to the north east and rapidly transiting the area.

Without cheating I think I'm about 15nm sw of it before I even start.

But there might be other targets out there and I'm told to silently track it. But how can I even begin to when I'm so far away and travelling at 5kts to remain 'silent' I'll never catch up?

There isn't a layer to sprint and drift with etc... so how do I do it?


2. In another mission, I'm supposed to spy on a harbour and report contacts. But every time I raise my ESM mast or periscope, I'm instantly spotted.

How do I handle these 'recon' tasks properly?

3. I'm running RA1.4, but how do I use the sonar properly to find distant / quiet contacts? I ask because if I turn auto crew on sonar, they find stuff that the waterfalls just don't show, and yet if I manually seek - even on the same bearing I can't hear anything.


4. Is there a mod that will decrease the sound of the wires being streamed / retrieved, but vastly increase the sound on the waterfall so I can hear contacts better?


I think that's it for now.

Thanks Captains. Happy Hunting.
