I got SH4 a year ago, but only really start my career recently when the Uboat addon arrived.
So, my problem is, sometimes when at periscope depth my sonar guy loses contact, even the ships are closing fast. Even I use the hydrophone myself, I hear nothing. Especially after I rise the periscope to get data then lower it again. The sound contact always lost.

I use SH4, v1.5 official patch (Uboat addon), and "Game File Only" mod.

Thats just part of the game, contacts were lost in real life like that also. They will come back, sometimes too late.

inexperienced sonar men and rough sea state will also cause the signal to be lost too.

Thanks for the replies guys. But the problem is, even I go to the hydrophone myself, I can't hear anything. That happen again last night, the sea was calm, and the ship was running 5 knots towards my boat. I ordered the sonar man to report contact, and he did. But when I ordered him to folllow the contact, he said there was no contact! I got the hydrophone myself, and heard nothing too. But the ship was there! some kind of bugs? I have no idea whats going on.:damn:
