This happens with the watch officer assisting in the Conning Tower.

I've played a fair few patrols with RFB now, but I've taken to manning the hydrophones every hour when underwater which really shouldn't be necessary. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I'm running RFB2 + the patch + the fog fix + RSRD + the patch


Fantastic mod by the way.
What year are you in you career, '42? Before I 'purchased' a new hydrophone (the one which installs on the deck and looks like a modern 'radar') I got the same deaf sonar guy thing. Even though I could hear ships when manually listening, the sonar guy couldn't hear them until they were close or on top of us. On second patrol, when I installed it he reported contacts normally.
