How to kill Kilo

[moose1am]

I'm relatively new to DW. Still in the learning curve. I made a training mission the other day using a Kilo as the sub that I am tracking with my seawolf submarine. Big mistake. I had to get so close that the kilo and I were in the same 3D image on the Nav screen before I could find it on my sonar. This is with the DW game and 1.03 patch only and not other mods installed.

That thing is extreemly hard to detect with the spherical array even when you are right on top of it.

If this is what our navy guys have to do in real life then I am learning to respect them a lot more. Talk about a hard job to perform.

I made another very simple training mission finally and put an akula I in the mission to make it easier to learn TMA.

I have to get within about 4nm of the Akula before I can pick it up on sonar. Or maybe that was 1 nm. I made the mistake of adding ocean currents to my mission and even at full stop my ship was drifting southward at 3 knots. LOL

I really have no idea on how to use the mission editor yet. So I am just lucky to be able to get some ships in a mission right now.

...I perfer to drive SW but looks like that even on small speeds (2-3kts) this little bastard can detect me always before i found her!There is only 2 tactic wich i found to be helpful(sometimes ):
1. Use layers!..in 1.03 they r strong enough to protect u even from active sonar!
2. Use active sonar,and get the pinpoint on kilo becos she will get fix on u if u relaying only on passive methods(but i dont like this 1)!

Any tips and tricks ?
Oh..yes..I use LWAMI latest version!
