I don't understand why I get contacts reported "long range" with a red square plotted, direction of travel, estimated speed (slow, med, etc), ship and they're so far off I can't catch them.

But they're are screws ringing pretty loud in the sonar and it's locked onto him apparently. every time i come back to sonar the green light is on and the screws are loud. I can grab the "sonar wheel" with my mouse and swing it around to find him. Then I click on "continual report" and he keeps calling out bearings but no distances.

And when I click the indicator, it pings and completes one ratation, then I ask for distance and all it says is "no target selected." And still no map update. How do you plot an intercept course (as i've seen on youtube from MILES away, if you have to chase them down to visual range?

My sub has "air radar" but no "surface radar." Do I need a newer sub?

I guess my main question is why do some plot and some don't? What's the difference?

Thanks for you help, propbeanie!
