SeaQueen,

I think you're the gal to ask for this.

Granted I am playing Harpoon (HCCE) and not DW. However, I am trying to hunt subs with ASW helo; effectively trying to resolve subs in a area of uncertainty after a passive hit on SOSUS, TA, or a patrol/formation buoy.

So, what's the best pattern to drop my buoys to locate that sub? I have anywhere from 1-3 helos and around 20 buoys/helo.

Should I drop them outside in? Inside out? Checker board pattern? Barrier lines?

Thanks.
