Really all you have to do is watch out for lag, I'll use about 2000 TC why underwater and if I see my PC start to work, I know something has entered the contact zone and will do a sonar search. Really a bug, your crew will function based on the equipment, but that doesn't effect you, you can hear on sonar to the end of the contact zone.

lag is not really a good indication for everyone, it does not always work with and when using a high (2000x) TC, the contact may already be out of the contact zone when you go to 1x.

Never has been a problem for me, early way I may use less. I'm at one TC in one step, by going to a sub station instead of beating on the minus TC button over and over. When a group enters your contact zone, it's about 20NM's away when you get lag, I've never lost one. Only danger sometimes is small groups, but still enough lag to notice. I have had times singles pop up without radar when in visual range.

On sonar, you can pick up contacts up to 40 nm away. The green contact light will come on before you can hear any sound. By checking every hour, you pick up all contacts, but then I rarely play above 256x TC.
