Detecting a hard to detect sub

Zero Niner · 04-14-22, 10:24 PM

Just did a single mission vs a Sierra class SSN. I started the mission with a bearing but lost contact as soon as the mission started. I briefly regained contact some time later but quite quickly lost it again.
I eventually found him when he pinged me when I got too close to the surface and started cavitating. I launched down the bearing, he did the same, and a knife fight ensued; we traded torpedoes and I think he got hit by his own torp, I was too busy avoiding his to notice when he got hit.

Anyways, what are some of the best practices when I'm trying to find a sneaky little bugger?
