What I really miss in Cold Waters

It is pretty much perfect (okay, apart from that it's a bit too easy to kill off Surface Groups in 1984) but what I really really miss is the following:

Looking for contacts.

I know the game is geared to be a skipper and a skipper doesn't look at the sonar data.

But in DW I really loved looking at the sonar screen, moving the cursor around until you saw some sound data popping up. In a barrier search you'd travel down the barrier, stopping every now and then, looking around... That noise spike, is that a contact? Let's head closer. No it's not. Continue down the barrier.
New noise spike! Is that it? Ah it's a merchant.

Etc. etc.

That part of the stalking I miss, really.
