Hiyas! I bought DW yesterday and I'm really enjoying it. but I have a couple of questions about the sonar. On Autocrew will the sonar crew actually locate and classify new targets that they find? The reason I ask is because the Autocrew finds a target but then it seems to stay as unknown and I then have to go into the narrowband sonar screen and use the identification tools to find out what the object is. But when I do find out what a target is, it only puts it as a certainty of "medium" or "low"...

The last question is I've been detecting things at around the 10 mile mark, but targets seem to get awfully close before I get a positive ID. How close to modern submarines have to get to their targets before they get a proper ID?

And once I do ID a hostile, what kinda range should I be launching torpedos at?
