I will say this, taters fixes help a lot. I just got most of them and I could tell. I had the radar fix, but didn't even install the dern thing thinking something else.

Battle of Java, I ran across a small TF a Kuma and about 8 DD's, wind 6knts, but I did get in position and got some stad measurements down at 2500 yards, locked the TDC, dived to 100, watched the TDC until it was about a 90 and let loose a spread of 4 and went down to 160ft...bottom
WHAM WHAM, got two good hits and never one ping., it sank way later, but a good one.

I have one tactic that helps me, ambush them coming though a narrow strait, they have no where to go. Another, more for escorts is to look up at the sub ceiling in the con tower, the actual sound for DD's is directional and looking up you can hear when a DD is about 500 yards or less and know direction, it you look up and bearing 270 and hear a ship, he'll be there.
