Still REALLY struggling after years!

[CamaroMan]

Hi all - coming from the old 688 days, I had a great time.. But i just have the HARDEST time getting anything done in this game which ive owned for over a decade.

I get so dismayed that I just stop playing for a year, 2 or even 3 - then pick it up again and hit the same wall.

(can someone perhaps write down a short bullet list of initial things they do to track / confirm contacts? For me, i deploy the towed array about half way cos i usually cruise around 10kts unless its shallow or dangerous - then 5kts and a shorter array, super short if i need to be near the bottom).

Then I do a turn to remove duplicate contacts - problem is assigning trackers gets soo confusing, i have o basically tma each contact (or match blades/narrowband/demon to confirm vessel and type)..

and I go in circles getting lost basically..

I have read all the stickies, guides i can possibly find. I also know the TMA method in 688 was incorrect and that took me a long time figure out.

Ive done many kills in 688 and read the book about 10 times so familiar with the concepts.

I just dont know what the heck im missing -

Esp the multiple contacts on the broadband (i know i know, use narrow band) - but the broadband just have a longer range..

Im going to play the first mission today on the huge screen with a remote keyboard/mouse and let you all know what happens.

I LOVE this game - but im just terribly bad at finishing up things. on 688 i did pretty well- just not DW..
