Well, would take some time for investigations to find out which equipment has been installed in the different destroyer types, but that's not the challenge.

What's the difference in performance between e. g. an ASDIC type 123 and 128? Range, detection angle, susceptibility to speed, swell etc.? It's easy to define different types for each month and each ship in the sns file, but this wouldn't contribute to realism if we can only guess, in what way these devices differed from each other. By now, we're not even shure if a submerged type VII boat at 60 m depth could have been detected at 1200 m or at 600 m, regardless of device. So we may introduce nothing like an ostensive increase in realism.
