Thanks. Looking around for it.

The issue to me was according to the description of the hydrophone, it had a detection angle of 140* to both sides so if we assume for the sake of nice figures that it picks up the trace at say 5* off the bow, then it shouldn't be able to track it much more than 145*, far less than the 170+ degrees I got.

3. I get as close as I need to to identify the flag. I also like to shoot close in too, around 800M - 15000M.

I just like to prepare for those convoys where getting that close is near suicidal.

4. I use SH3 Commander and turn the fatigue off. The captain was not in charge of crew rotation, so why should I be is how I feel about it.

This I can agree on but I have a slightly different take on it. There are up to 5 officers on the VII (in the sim that is). Which one, if any am I supposed to be?
Have a look if you haven't already. http://www.uboataces.com/ref-crew.shtml
Since 5 officers AND a captain sounds a bit crowded I choose to see it as I'm really all of the officers at the same time taking on the roles of all including crew management (petty officers would do that it seems).

Anyway, I might have found a few working schedules for various situations from cruise to tactical. Let's see how it all works out.
