Just FYI, some of you may have noticed this:

TMO will include this model next update. I have some work to do to it to adapt it to TMO so it runs how the current "pseudo narwhal" does, just with the proper 3d model this time.
I have no ETA, ive been strapped down helping luke with RUB for Sh5, and im going camping this week starting wednesday. Im also waiting to see what vickers03 does for the S boat interior. All told i may not have the next update ready for another month or so.
And to reiterate...
If the escorts are giving you issues, the easiest way to rachet down the difficulty is to go to the sim.cfg and in the hydrophones section, change:
Noise factor=0.25 to 0.5 or higher.
Stock value is 1 if i remember correctly.
