Always have two fully qualified sonar men......Let them 'hotbunk' :lol:

I had the worse sonar man in the Kriegsmarine. Replaced him with Becker, suddenly I was getting contacts 25-30 kms away. I also have another guy just as good. One of them is always completely rested. I make sure they show a good chunk of yellow on the tired bar while on duty.

you may want to experiment with different guys in an area with several sound contacts and pick the best of the lot. :D

You're upset about pinging? My sonar guy didnt notify me about the 3 destroyers I was near, and they all found me (since I didnt know they were there, so I was going at ahead standard). My next message was about 5 things getting damaged, followed by my sonar guy saying "Depth Charges in the water".

Not a thing about the destroyers though:damn:

Mine doesn't hear depthcharges, nor pinging nor screws nor torpedo hits :roll:
I hate to give him a medal :shifty:

Give him a kick in the ass off your boat. Just get a new crewman for his place... or specialize the guy using SH3 commander as a radio guy (not sonar, but it works).
