Thank you for the answer and I am sorry for the bad wording of my question, I do not speak English very well.

Hello Does warships own radar navigation?

Yes. Thank's for you answer.

Do you think it is normal that CZ are not dependent on passive range? This means that a good sonar (BQG-5 WAA / LF-MF / 6 nm Passive Range) has the same number of CZ a bad sonar (AQS-22 / LF-MF / 1.5 nm Passive Range).

Where you put the frequencies VLF-HF and VLF-MF in the table on the Base Classification Probality (4-11) ?

Can you confirm that ECM used against missiles ARH and Decoys used against missiles IRH? Nothing is mentioned in the rules.

Thank's for your answer (I don't have any Sitrep)

What is the impact on the ATA if a plane can not use its engine to maximum power?

Hi The Sub is not known if the contact is found in a direct path or convergence zone. But an TMA solution is possible only in direct path, less than 20 nm. So, after a few rounds of contact without TMA solution, the Sub will know that the contact is in CZ. Am I right?

Hi For some sonar, the classification is impossible (as against MF Quiet for example). So, to ensure the type of the target, we have to move to active sonar, which is dangerous. Might it not allow the classification with a passive penalty?

Hi In 9.12.2 Building a TOE (South Atlantic War), it there mention of Annex T Ground Combat Strenghts. But where it is ? Thank you.

Currently solo but I hope later to play by email when I control the rules well.

Hello I was badly explained. Could the cross result of classification 4.4.8 with the result of the TMA give information (other that direction) like speed, the course or even the position ?

Hello Thank you for your step. I have a suggestion. I think that passive detection nevertheless makes it possible to have more information than the simple direction. Thus why not have more information on the contact according to Passive Sonar Classification and Target Motion Analysis. For example, that could give the following table. TMA NA: Target Motion Analysis Not Allowed then no shoot It will be easier, according to data's, to fix the enable point. What do you think about it? Classeur1.xls

Hi David, Good question. I'd like to hear the answer for someone a little more familiar with information on torpedoes. Especially since it seems to be the preferred method of operation of a modern sub attack. I think you may be experiencing one of the drawbacks of a passive-only detection. Maybe launching it as a "straight runner" would be best/only chance, as you mention you only have a direction. There's got to be a better way. Have you already established a satisfactory Target Motion Analysis? I hope someone chimes in on your "setting the enabling point question". Pete Target Motion Analysis gives a modifier to hit but it does not give the position of the target, nor its speed or its course. Does one have to pass to engagement turn to determine the direction of the target each time and thus to reorientate the guided torpedo ?

Hello For passive detection, as one does know only the direction, how to fix the enable point? If it is fixed too quickly or too far, the torpedo can turn in round, too far from its target.
