Most of us fussy folks are realism addicts. But we have to make peace with what we have to play with or have no simulator at all.
When you run into a Trigger Maru convoy of six merchies protected by six escorts (usually those cursed sub chasers) there is doubt as to whether you'll get a shot off on the merchies at all in your first and second approach. I take it for granted they'll spot me and just count it as part of the experience.
I try to use thier strength and persistence against them by hoping they all bunch up looking for me. If I can catch one stopped and listening, I try a snapshot to whittle the numbers down a bit. Then I escape, break contact and end around to the other side. Hopefully the escorts are still over on the other side of the convly looking for me. I have had some epic all-night melees that just wouldn't have happened in RFB.
