What kinds of buoys spacings do people use for the Passive buoys?
I find that I can barely get any detection range on the Passives - VLAD/DIFAR - usually <1000 yards against Akulas and 688s in goodish sonar conditions. Against Kilos or Seawolves I seem to get nothing even if they pass pretty much directly under the buoy.
So far, I mainly use MAD as my primary detection method in the P3 and the Active Dipper in the helo and use the passives only for classification after I detect something or to track torpedo launches. I'm sure there must be a better way to use passives but I'm really unable to figure out how.
(I've read the P3 guide on SubGuru pretty throughly as well as several posts on the subject in this forum. It's good info and I understand the tactics but it seems to be more for the stock db detection ranges or louder subs like the AI nukes (OSCAR/Typhoon etc)
