Detectable Visual Range? and more questions

Laconic · 12-16-07, 05:22 PM

Hello all,

This is my first real sim game since the old Red Baron days, so the learning curve is really kicking my butt right now. I'm getting the hang of the manual aiming system, but the problem I'm having right now is not knowing when to dive to start an attack run. I tend to do it too early and either get outrun by my target or run out of battery power before I'm close enough to attack. How long can I remain surfaced to maximize speed and power? Is it a true "I see you, you see me" system? And what speeds are recommended once I do submerge? The tutorial missions have me believing that if I approach at anything faster than Ahead Slow I will be detected.

Also, are opening and closing tube doors audible? How should I spend my crew promotions?

Thanks.
