Didnt know what one of my reports to post here so i just picked the latest :arms:

Nice dive and a good map. I started with Labo in the Akula to my West at about 20nm. I hade a very faint line at the 50khz for him and was enough to track him. I thought about closing range then engaging but i know he would get tracker on me and start a subroc barage if i did. so i fired 3 adcap at him to mess his sonar and to keep him deep while running. I then got TIW from my north. It was Duke firing on Labo to. I relised only way labo could go was South to evade all torps. I restered my torps SW to intercept him and headed there myself to close range. I also sent my other 3 adcap north to keep Duke busy. Labo did run south and so Dukes torps ran out before reaching him. I managed to get mine close but he went behind island and i lost track of him. I had one that was near him and homing when all 3 ran out. Labo had sent some subroc at Duke before running south which helped me as it kept him of my back :)
I reloaded and went deep and flank towards island Labo was behind. Labo had ran aground while evading my torps and Duke had done same evading Labos subroc. I sent 3 adcap round one side of island and 1 around other. I didnt know Labo was damaged at this time or i would only have sent 2 :) as first to find him sunk him. I then headed north at flank to find Duke. He had same idea and was heading south at speed to. He had launched some adcap to scout about the map and when i slowed i got their TIW. I launched a UUV which marked them all for me and showed i was safe. However there was one coming south towards me that i decided to mark on TA to get acurate updates. When i checked it in NB i seen it had a 60 and 125khz line and relised it was Duke. He had said his sub was still in fighting shape so i wasnt about to hold back :)
I launched 3 adcap at him. He later told me he hoped i was firing as some of his torps and slowed to launch a UUV to find he had forgot to reload them :) I also had him on BB so i could see in demon that he was sitting a 4kts waiting for the UUVs to load and launch them. As he was at 4kts i knew he hadnt went far from the last TMA update so i waited till torps where right ontop of him and activated them. within 10 sec he was sunk. He launched 3 adcap at me before dying but the RTE was set to long and i was clear
