One more thing.
Since all of the platforms, especially the submerged platforms, now all have working and effective passive sonars, there is much more flexibility in terms of getting various platforms to behave as they should in terms of engaging targets.
I believe that designers can now think much more in terms of specific AI platform interaction, rather than having many of the platforms simply be moving targets, as in the stock DB no submarines, other than playables, had effective passive sonars.
Honestly, other than the detection ranges, I believe this is the most fundamental change for mission designers.
