I was thinking a moment about a scenario with me in a sub and an Helo hunting me. Now the helo drops sonobuoys and i detect them. Assume there is a layer, more or less strong.

Another scenario with me in a Seawolf and the opponent in an Akula. Assume he is hunting me again and there is a strong layer. I detect him first (probable) and assume i can get the range.

Given those two scenarios, the question arises... how much calculations would do a crew in order to maintain the overhand with good probability?

Would my crew be able to calculate enemy capability to detect me at different distances and depths? Can I assume that a layer with a given strength will cover me totally?

Often the fascinating thing in sub warfare (in game) is the inpossibility to know, has he detected me or not? Will he possibly have a firing solution on me at this time?

So basically the question is, is the stealth factor somehow mathematically predictable, given the values sound speed, distance, sonar capability and such? :hmm:
