Nevermind. Mission
finally accomplished ... somehow.
I couldn't find specific range information for the DSRV in the manual or the in-game USNI Reference. But I drove to within about 500-700 yards of the Danish sub, which was about the same distance as my previous attempt. But this time the DSRV found it and reported a successful coupling ... no collision! (lol)
Still one goofy thing, though. The DSRV track on my Navigation display showed that it did not find its way back to my sub, and instead it could be seen just doing the same aimless wandering thing it had done before when trying to find the Danes.
But after awhile, my XO reported the DSRV as returned, even though according to tracking, it didn't even come close. Whatever, I'm just glad I got credit for the mission.
So I navigated us back out of the ice cavern safely, and now it's on to the next lesson! Thanks for the encouragement, Stanny. I guess it
was worth one more try.
I'll be getting my hands on that Mod soon, too. Might save me some of whatever wits I have left.
