Almost every mission that involves surface vessels will have air support. I've found the new campaign very challenging. In realistic settings (and even more so on elite difficulty) the detection of transient sounds of you firing torps results in snapshots in your direction. However, launch transients from your weapons are heard, even from great distances away (depending on ambient noise). To start: the Seawolf is quieter than the LA class, so running ultra quiet will blend you into the surroundings, so to speak. What is the best attack technique while remaining undetected ?

How do these damned helis so easily find us, or how do we stay undercover of them during a entire attack ? I was running fully silent, miles away from them and had made a course change just after my salvo. No more than 5 minutes later, i get hit by a torpedo that was launched by one of the helis, obviously this was just the start of what very soon became a sworm of torps that i had to face off while boats who survived now were heading straight for me. Going to my hardest part is surviving or staying undetected from helicopters and planes, they seem WAY too overpowered, just yesterday, go into an attack of a repplenishment convoy, start the attack from a good 16KYD, i could see helis far away dipping their sonars, feeling safe enough i launch a salvo of 4 torpedoes and turn 90° left from initial course to make sure any counter attack weapons don't come straight in my face. On my first few missions, i had to take out sub groups and simply couldn't even manage finding them, they simply were undetectable. I wanted to bump up the difficulty a bit from the "walk in the park of 1984 campaign" and therefore changed the setting to "Realistic", don't know what exactly the setting changes in terms of gameplay difficulty but the difference is really felt ! Torpedo evasion but especially remaining undetected throughout an attack, almost impossible. Problem is i'm finding it really hard to play the new China sea campaign with the Seawolf.

Been playing the 1984 campaign quite a bit, got enough experience to know most of what's going on and how to deal with it in most cases.
