I've only been playing a couple of days now butbhave developed a method that is panning out for me.

If I have a good run meaning approaching from the stern close to the subs course as soon as my drop is complete order a "all back 2/3" command and maybe shift a 90 arc in the direction the sub turned. As soon as sonar picks him back up I should be in a good position off it's stern about 3-500 yards distance and perfect for a new run.

This is also useful it you have a bad run, parallel but off to one side. Just order "all stop" and wait until you pick him up again.

Remember you can stop and reverse your first thought should not be to just speed up.

Will this work once they impliment subs shooting at escorts and YOU? We'll have to wait and see.
