can someone explain how combat actually works please? - unless you have the sub (I don't yet) you get about 5 lines for the RV or trawler - they dont make sense - dont describe what you see on the screen - are contradictory - and in short - dont work.

sometimes I can see my attackers and shoot back - sometimes I can't and I'm just left sitting there getting shot up - right now I'm under attack by about 3 vessels at once - they are only visible on radar, and my guns cannot see them - let alone target them - but their combat skills are lacking too - I've left them to attack me without fighting back or even moving for about 2 hours and the red things they are shooting at me seem to miss almost every time - what's going on? - it wont even let me make a run for it!! surely the combat screens shouldn't be so boring - something should happen

If a ship is shadowing you and you get into a fight you can use the machine guns. Try to position your ship broadsides against theirs and then go to the gun sight to line your gun up with the middle of the enemy ship.

If you are still on a boat and not a sub and you try to sneak into an Evil Eddy wreck site and you get caught they will use subs to attack you. That means you can either aim your ship away from them and run and wait for probably an hour or just reload your last save because you have NO chance of winning.
