DWReese -> RE: Submarine Tutorial 1.4 (11/6/2020 12:42:39 PM)

A lot has been written in this thread about this scenario. Based on all of that attention, I played the scenario.
The first problem that I had was the sub needs to be in position in order to take on the ship. Unless the sub in in the proper position, it is doomed for failure. I tried it the first time, and I was out of position. I extended that scenario and tried to "catch up" to the ship by speeding up, but I was detected.
I then tried the scenario a second time, and I did manage to get into position. I was slightly off course by about 2 1/2 miles when I fired my torpedoes. The ship was able to evade, and outrun, my torpedoes.
I tried the scenario a third time, this time managing to place my sub directly in the path of the ship. As the ship got near, I say on the bottom, just as the scenario description discussed. The ship passed directly over the sub without detecting it because it was masked by the floor terrain. I was then able to fire my torpedoes at the sub from its baffles, and destroyed the ship without the ship ever even detecting the sub.
thewood1's description of how not get detected and to sink the ship is spot on. The hardest part is trying to get into proper position.
IMO, the scenario description is actually really good, and if you read and follow the instructions, it does properly describe HOW to win the scenario. It also "teaches" or "informs" the game player of a very interesting tactic that I was not aware of before attempting the scenario.
