G'day guys,

Just wanted to ask two quick questions. I could do some of my own testing, but thought I'd ask in case someone knows.

1. Do you know at roughly what range a snorting Kilo will be detected by a Western submarine and/or warship?
1a. Has anyone had success by snorting 'behind' an island, so that you can't be heard?

2. Also, does anyone have any 'tactics' for evading torps in the Perry? I know it's 'low percentage' (and if it's a wake homer, you're basically done)

As I understand it, when you hear TIW:
1. Stream the Nixie
2. All ahead Flank
3. But do you 'snake' away from it with turns (like subs) or is that a waste of time, because the FFG doesn't have decoys?

Thanks guys - basic questions - just wanted to ask!

I'm (finally) getting into the FFG, and am enjoying it!
Stew
