If you see them first, and dive or get yourself into an advantageous position, you’ll usually win. If the enemy detects you or sees you first, you’ve just lost nearly all chance of winning.
As in hunting elk or deer, during the hunting season, the first to spot the other usually wins.You have to stay undetected before, during and after your attack. Your goal is to avoid detection, else be destroyed, you need to constantly work to maintain your stealth and invisibility, while making sure that you can spot merchants and warships effectively and efficiently.
