What a fossil.

Yes you can get surface contacts in TMO via hydrophones. But usually, only in poor visiblity. Check the range in game, i think its like 9,000 yards. Most of the time your watch crew see's things by then.

And yes, i reverted because it was indeed possible.

edit:
If you man the hydrophones yourself, you'll hear MUCH farther thne 9000 yards. This is a problem with the game engine. You crewman will only acknowledge things to the specified range, but sounds are still audible from alot farther.
