Ok so I Just bought this game and being a complete Rookie at Sub sims I am Really Confused. I have my tracking set to What I think is aouto tracking. My Sonar man call out the Target. So I go to thell him Follow that target and I get this " No target selected" or the ship stays on plotted Course. I am really lost as to how Auto tracking works I spent about 4 hours today chaseing Blips on the map to never get in a fight. I tryind the manuel tracking but it was only worse.

What are some ways to quickily hit a target that say pops up 2 squars away. if the auto tracking is not working or so it seems anything I have tryed just leads to sailing in circles not finding a fight?

Thanks everyone

Sounds like you need to learn the basics of the game. Here is a link with some basics. Make sure you read the SHIV Guide, speed, ect.

You're not missing anything. As you will soon see pointed out many times around here, the manual is too small to even make a decent doorstop. Subsim.com is your manual, and a great one it is.

Yes indeed you are correct there I have spend alot of time looking over the info very good stuff. I have found that no matter how much I study the vids I still suck at tracking and finding targets. I am not very good at math and this game show me that lol. in most cases I see the red blip on the map and by the time I get there even at full speed the blip is gone. the game all be it fun it is turning into a dot chaseing game. I now realize how smat those sailors must have been and are. lol I am sure with some more tial and error I will get it and the tools here are a big help.
thanks everyone
