Any tips on closing range and getting a good solution without getting detected and or the enemy ships turning away and disengaging?

Agreed. 1968 is TOUGH!! Playing on hard difficulty. I'm having the same issues as you are. The Bears and Mays are blowing me away as well. I think the aircraft tend to find you a little too easily (I like realism but not sure they could really find US subs that easily, it's not like I'm always burning around at 20 knots). Also, the 1968 weapons for lack of another way to put it, make winning pretty hard. It seems the Soviets had superior weapons in this time frame.
