Sprint&Drift

[p1t1o]

With reference to the "Sprint & Drift" checkbox in the formation editor - how does this function? Does it actually control the speed of ships in your group, or does it just affect probability of detecting subs? When would you ever *not* use it? Can you apply it to a single vessel?

Thanks!

Sprint and drift is applied on a per-ship basis in the formation editor. The ship with sprint and drift checked will sprint about 5 NM ahead of it's station, then drift until it is about 5NM behind it's station. (Numbers off the top of my head). I would only use it if the ship has fairly long range ASW sensors.
