So I'll have to look into the files, which I don't have downloaded yet, to find if the decoys are moddable and can be turned back on again. It won't happen right away but keep my feet to the fire and I'll look into it!
Ok. I do know, whoever created the SSBN Ohio boat for SH4, was able to get decoys to work for that.

I always looked at decoys in the game as equivalent to shooting debris and such out of the tubes to fake being sunk. But, maybe that's not historical either.

EDIT: Just found this post from 2007 regarding US use of decoys: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=121619

Thanks.
