I usually stumble upon a ship or two on the way. I think I have read somewhere that you get often ship spottings if you reduce the speed setting. Last night I tried to slow it to 128x and I spotted one ship. (I know this isn't empirically solid evidence..)

I also tried to go to 25m and hydrophone often but so far I have never detected a ship this way that hasn't already been sighted by the crew beforehand.

Is it just a myth that the sightings improve by lowering speed. You developers probably know the answer to this one...

Thanks in advance

When you use hydrophone, go around 20m deep, stop engines and use good hearphones. This is how I find a good 2/3 of my targets... even experienced, sonarman misses a lot.
When I am in a target zone, I usually do it every 3 hours.
