Hello. Ive mentioned this before but I can find subs at up to 20 miles away using the OHP hull passive. Depends of coarse on the type of sub, sea state etc. Just 'click' around and you will acquire. You DO NOT have to click around degree by degree-just be kinda close. If you've got a contact on TA first and have got a bearing check out the hull passive as another source of info. This is a way to speed up the 'legs' required for accurate auto TMA. Really a bug I think, not intentional. I would sure like to see this station improved so I could see something.
I think I should be able to see, say a noisy Victor at 10-15 miles, while Im going slow under the right conditions instead of 'cheating' by clicking around. I know shes called the "Hellen Keller" of sonars but...
I tried playing around with my limited DWEdit and doctrine skills to improve this station visually but I think its hard coded like weapons.
Ive never found this station useless but taking advantage of a bug is no good either... My 2 cents...
Should also mention once acquired this "bug" will not auto update. You can manually update but now have to be pretty bang on the bearing unlike the first time you acquire so don't let it age to much.
Again I would love to see this station improved.
