I mostly use 'partial' and have'nt experienced breakages other than at high speed.

This is the tactic that I live by. For one, you can implement the use of your TA in shallower waters.

Typically I only deploy my TA to full length if I am trying to get triangulation for quick distance estimation on sphere contacts or if I am trying to drag the TA under a layer (a tactic that is critical for success in submarine combat in DW 1.03).

If I am making a turn or depth change, I never leave my TA at farther than half length because it takes longer for the TA to come about and stablize after the manoever.

Like suBB, I have tried all ways **to break my fully extended starboard SW TA, with no joy. :hmm:

** Speeds up to 33 knots with dialled-in depth changes maintaining course. No EB and no reverse. Max depth 440 ft. min 55 ft.

@bellman.....

my good man... try all that you will... i dont think you will break one anytime soon... and make sure you vote in the polls, if you havent done so already..

@goldorak....

you went quiet on us... have you finally stopped snapping TA's... or started playing subcommand (nudge)

There definitely is something strange going on in the sub controls. Have a look at the 3D vie of the sub when reducing depth, sometimes the front planes are even pointed straight down (perpendicular to the main axis of the sub).

Yeah .. this is part of 'drunken planesman' to .. I know .. there had to be some drunken boat desginer too in this case :-)
Yesterday I ALMOST cut TA on seawolf. Was doing 15kts at 1600ft. Ordered 300ft. Speed changed to 20kts and sonars washed out. I ordered 5 kts and for a moment before reaching target depth I was doing 1 kts ! I fastly ordered 2/3. I don't know if it could reach 0 but it was really close.

View Poll Results: Should I move the Akula TA under the prop for version of LWAMI intended for DW 1.03?
Yes, I don't want my TA to break so much.	10	40.00%
No, it would be ugly to have the wire come out of no where.	15	60.00%
