But NOOOOO, my Seawolf autocrew cannot do what a WW2 boat can do? In 1981 in the Med. My boat was awarded the "hook em" award. This was a naval award for given to the Archerfish for tracking an early Kilo class boat for weeks. Yep! The ultra quiet Kilo that everyone balks about was no match acoustically for a 637 class submarine. I know that we cannot have actual classified material divulged, but IMO DW and SC are not even in the ball park. Funny enough I think the old 688i sim is more accurate as far as sonar capabilities are concerned.
I think you hit the nail on the head Frame57 about classified stuff.

I would imagine they can't give it all away.

My guess it's a game version of a training tool.

As XXX said " It's all we got "
