First let me apologize for creating a thread on this, because I just know someone has to have mentioned this before, but I did a search and I'm struggling to find what I'm looking for. I recall reading on here that someone had modded the passive sonar for U-Boats in SH5 so that you don't have to be precisely 'dialed in' to a bearing in order to hear a contact.

It's been frustrating as heck following a target when its stuck between 321 degrees and 322 degrees, for example. "Oh i hear it, wait no i don't, oh it's back again" lol.

I looked through the mods section but I'm not sure what 'category' the mod file was placed under.

First off, you need the patched to 1.2 DVD version of the game.

Then need the SH5 Patcher, which can be found here (It's also part of the Applications included in TDWs NewUIs if you've already gotten that one):

Instructions on how to use are here (pictures were gone, but it should be pretty self-explanatory once you got the patcher open):
