SC: Novice Level question

What I meant by pushing the auto crew is manually moving the index at the top of the narrowband and broadband displays and encouraging the autocrew to designate it as a contact.

Sonar autocrew wont tell you what it needs even if you don't supply him with it.

If you are in shallow waters and stream the TA but the TA touches the bottom it's like not deploying it.

If you maneuver a lot your TMA crew won't be able to generate a solid solution also.

Question, did you see Sierra(S##) contacts only or was the autocrew able to build some master (M##) contacts? Because almost always a master contact position is very close to the true position, with aTMA on.

Ah well I have been able to get a (very) few master contacts, however the vast majority seem to be S. Also even though I stay deep and keep my speed low, in the Seawolf I always hear "torpedo in the water" before I ever detect the Victor III that always seems to kill me, heh.

Just need more practice I guess!

I guess it's time you start to doing the sonarman job yourself then
