I'm having a bit of trouble on missions that require long term tracking of SSBNs. The issue is that they are usually clipping along around 15 kts or so. In order to keep up, my hull and sphericals are completely washed out, and my TA also has significant noise. To make matters worse, if I'm following along at a similar course, the SSBN tends to be outside the coverage of my TAs, thus forcing me to either rely on the already washed out non-TAs or track on large angles that that bring my TA into coverage. Tracking at large angles makes me travel longer to keep up, forcing me to increase speed, which worsens the passive sonar situation...
Do you guys have some tips on passive detection that would help? I've read through the TACMAN and Notfallmappe (which are great!), but am still a bit frustrated.

I don't play boomer tracking missions very much, but if it were up to me, i would use a sprint and drift technique. I would try this right behind him in his baffles so that he dosent hear you but then when you get 2 nm or so away from him, just change your speed to his speed, and he should be close enough, where even with him going very fast, you should still be able pick up on his noise.
