I am playing around with this game on Steam after putting it aside years ago. I am trying to get through the "Super escort" scenario where you are supposed to escort a supertanker moving at 16 knot through waters infested with 3 Kilo submarines, your approach to the hostiles is through water that is 45 feet deep in places, and you have about a 500 yard head start on the tanker.

I've tried everything I can think of to begin to have a prayer of deterring or preventing attack on the tanker. It's hopeless. The only chance I can see is if you have foreknowledge of exactly where the Kilos are going to be and fire off 3 snapshot torpedoes to throw them on the defensive. Even then, I don't know how to deal with their snapshot counterattacks, which arc on the tanker.

Has anyone actually won this scenario? Can you tell me how you did it?
