My 688 must have a squeek

Err, you say you go to silent running and begin 'beaming' the enemy?

You mean active sonar?

Don't use it. It just shows everyone your position unless they are close- probably 15kyds or less.

Stay at 5-10 knots, move in one direction, then another and rely on passive sonar and towed array.

Avoid making very acute course changes or depth changes as it would degrade tower array performance.

Change depth slowly and with the planes only.

I can kill enemy subs without them ever knowing the direction it was fired from.

No, I mean presenting the broadside of the sub to the contact to get a better passive return.

Ah but if you notice their active sonar strength does go up when you present your broadside. If you face towards them it goes down. so you have to watch that too.
