Q1 = Was the uber elite DD in the U505 mission?

I can't confirm that, but I would suspect so.

Q2 = Can someone just refresh my memory as to what the evidence was that it was indeed uber?

1) Sonar lock achieved very quickly.
2) Sonar lock maintained until the ship passes over you.
3) Lock nearly impossible to break as long as ship's bow is within 90 degrees of you.
4) Depth charge explosions have no effect on the ship's ability to acquire sonar lock. Depth above 300m has no effect on the ship's ability to acquire sonar lock.
5) Two ships on attack, for all purposes, create a situation that is 100% unsurvivable.

Q4 = Is there a possibility that something that was pretty good is now corrupted and that we should try and track this down?

No, I don't believe that's the case. On the other hand, I'm sure tweaks to sonars could be made.

Mind you, I'm basing this on about a week of constant testing which resulted in values that are now in RUb. :hmm:
