Decks awash brings my speed down by half. Also, After installing RSRD my sonar no longer works when surfaced; is that WAD?

Indeed! Running with decks awash, you have to rely on the electric motors rather than the diesel engines. I usually only set the speed to 1/3 ahead, which will give me about 2 knots speed. That will keep the waves from rolling across the deck (on a calm sea), and flooding out the RADAR.

Your method/techniques all depend on circumstances - How far away are the target(s); what is their course vs your course, target(s) speed, etc. Use your own judgement to Adapt, Overcome and get into a good firing position.

Good luck and good hunting!

So decks-awash really comes into its own once you've got surface-search radar. Before that, you might as well submerge
