The DRT is best used to set up your attacks on a large scale. Ideally you 
want to approach the contact from stern to bow and drive over it rather 
than perpendicularly. Two depth charges roll right off of your stern and 
so you increase the chance of sinking if you can get 4 or so depth charges 
very close. Only one depth charge is shot off the sides of the boat (and 
only hit if you have a close miss). In addition, perpendicular approaches 
are hard to calculate without falling ahead or behind.

Once you get 400 yards and closer and you know you are on a bow approach 
or stern approach, switch to using the Bridge and the OSC Projector. The 
DRT is very good at showing your motion but doesn’t update contacts very 
often (the DRT updates about every 25-35 seconds). The OSC Projector needle 
is mirrored on the bridge display that shows the target bearing (the Target 
Bearing Indicator or “TBI”). The OSC Projector (and TBI) shows the target 
bearing every 4 seconds. Using the A and D buttons or inputting a heading 
with the keyboard is ok for strategic movements but you can make quicker 
course corrections using the mouse and the helm wheel. You can just click 
and hold the mouse to make steering changes (you don’t need to click and 
release).

 Make sure you set up the TRR before you get to close so you can quickly 
switch between the helm and the TRR for your drop timing.Remember not to 
follow the TBI once you lose sonar contact. Just straighten the ship and 
drop on your mark.

The maximum underwater speed of the uboats here is only about 5 knots. The 
slowest you can go without stopping is 8 knots. You have plenty of time to 
reattack and you don’t need to go straight at the contact. Once you are 
dropping over the target, steam straight ahead for about 500 yards so you 
can monitor the u-boats course on your legs maneuvering around the u-boat 
and set up for another stern attack (if necessary).

U-Boat last minute turns seem to be around 20 degrees. Use that as a guide 
when sonar tells you that the contact is making a sharp turn just before 
dropping.
