How to classify contacts?

If you are new to this sim, I'd encourage you to not use any mods; especially the RAD-mod does change a lot of detection ranges , also of sonar bouys.

hmm - ok - i guess i can revert back -

have been playing the ffg for the past couple days - so far the best way i know to classify contacts is by using difar and then finding a row of dots with at least three dots and just simply select the first option from the library that comes up.

been playing quick mission, but i think i might start making missions - seems like quick missions drop you right into it and dont even give you time for a run up to a situation - i like to have realistic loading / aircraft launch times set with wind and what not...

are there better ways to classify a track though?
good link to a tutorial??

yep ~ went there and grabbed some stuff ~ really don't know what i'm looking at lol ~ way too noob to understand alot of the charts and what not. most of the stuff it seems is created for subs, and i'm trying to get familiar with the ffg / mh-60 / orion. applied to seawolves ~ they are a pretty good group of guys...hoping to get some training missions in with them.

I would begin with the MH60, it is the easiest platform to control.
Then;

1-Play the game
2-Read the tutorials and forums
3-Go to step 1

yea MH-60 is good -
i actually like using that platform ~ too bad you can't land it and reload on an ffg in a quick mission though lol
