I was looking for something and found this post, so here is a necro-bump.

In point of fact, the IJN frequently had escorts driving around with their active sonar banging away! Even if they were going too fast to even listen to it. No kidding. Presumably they thought it would scare subs away, but it had the opposite effect, often times US subs would hear the actives, and know there were targets about.

With all the merchant testing I have been doing, it reminded me that I wanted to make a sensor that would not work well as a sensor, but would bang away pinging.

One thought was to add a sonar noise to the air-search radar. Haven't figured it out yet (I have a version that works in SOME old mod I made, but I don't remember which).
