When I was testing the AI Subs the other day Capn, the one thing I noticed is that although you can't "hear" it, when you rotate the head, you'll see the light illuminate "Green" when you are pointed at a sound contact - which tells me that the game ~can~ hear it... Then, like you say, if you "ping" it, you'll get the exact yardage... "Send to TDC" for the bearing and range and couple-three times, and "Fire Torpedo 1"... "Boom!" - unless of course, you're like me and get a dud, then it just goes "Clunk!". That is still better than a circle-runner that hits your boat instead...
