I get the same thing. I'm not sure why. I doubt that it is a intended "realism" thing; more likely another buggy aspect of SH4.

The hydrophones thing is an old complaint. The expanation is that the sound operator's ability is a function of the equiptment (poor at the start and getting better as war progresses), but you can hear the sounds the same as if you have the best units.

I'm playing RFB 2.0 in Dec. '41 and I find my soundman (who is green, obviously), can hear ships at about 7,000yd. Even then, I have to prod him to get information. Hardly ideal.
