Im sorry, I just got the SonarDC fix, does it have the snorkel fix? If not, if I get the sensorpack will it include the sonardc_fix and the snorkel fix?

edit: Just read up on the SonarDC_20, I think im more interested in the SonarDC_fix...im looking for that one now. I want as close to realsim, and historical accuracy as possible. I get the impression the normal SonarDC mod is closer to what I want. Have you looked into the abilty for vessels to use their passive sonar at high-speeds. I had a DD detect me while it was escorting a 14kt TaskForce...granted I was also going flank speed and was just over 1km on his beam/rear-quarter, but i've seen it happen in the past with me going much slower.

On a side note I also read that the British felt that active detection range was only about 2k also...though the ping could be heard as far out as about 4k(basically the detection would be roughly one half the ping's range since it has to bounce off the target and travel back before its energy is dissipated)
