Recently DL'd Epic Mod 2.33. Been running some quick missions, mainly cold war era ASW.

Elite difficulty, 1:1 scale and time. Playing a Riga FF against cold war era US subs, either a Skipjack, Permit, or Sturgeon. I'm going along at flank speed 28 knots and yet somehow I'm still able to passively track a US sub - a Sturgeon most recently - that's idling along at 5 knots, below a layer, and at more than 15 kilometers away? He's too far away for active, even when I'm stationary.

These are the only kind of custom single missions I've run and the result has been the same every time. Reliable tracking of silent running US subs at impossible ranges, with the surface ship moving at speeds that should render it blind.

Also, forgot to mention; US subs are firing torpedoes seemingly at random, in any random direction, with the torps going in a snake pattern as soon as its fired.
