SCXIIC:How to correct the errors of sonar classification?

Stanny · 02-06-08, 12:30 PM

Hello everybody,

I had a strange occasion while playing mission of the Seawolf's campaign in SCXIIC today.I picked up Charlie Class submarine on sphere array.I was a bit amazed of the sound of her propeller blades,as they were turning rather noisy,like these on large surface ships.Anyway,narrowband classified this contact as Charlie Class with filter turned on.

I worked up a TMA firing solution and fired two (one with active homing,other with passive) MK 48 Adcap Mod 5 torpedoes from distance of about 10 000 yards.I was very confused when torpedoes sank a Sovremenny Class destroyer.

I loaded the game save and decided to stream the starboard towed array and check the same contact with it.I was confused again when fully streamed towed arrray showed no contacts at all in this range of bearings.

So,I would like to ask all captains,how are you dealing with such situations,when one sensor is showing something with high confidence and other sensors show something completely different or even nothing at all.What do usually do,do you try to engage those unclear contacts or drop them from TMA and go away?

Thanks for your response.

With best regards,
Stan.
