Sonar & Photo Recon

Overall, it's a waste of time, unless you use better tactics and want to use torps on a DD. They can easily see the trail of you M14's and will dodge them. The ships in the game have turbo stop and start power.
If you have M18's, wakeless torps and they don't hear you, you should get them.

If you want to shoot them with M14's, you got to freeze them. Need to shoot torps fast and together. Aim one manually just in front of him then the next one in the middle. You get the principle. In some fashion, you sorta have to waste one to freeze him, so the other can hit.

DD's that are stationary are passive listening. Basically they're two types of stationary. Those in harbors are fixed and will not move. They're considered in port, thus fixed. Obvious, the ones moving can go stationary, but since they're on duty they can move. Both can use sonar, but the ones ported won't chase you.
