But after all, they are called SONAlysis, and not RADAlysis. :rotfl:
Bummer.

Guess I'll have to wait for the "Great One" before seeing an accurate RF model in a naval sim. I'm no programmer, so take this with a grain of salt, but I can't see a reason why modelling the RF spectrum would be more complex or difficult than the (admittedly excellent) acoustic model. Many of the same factors affect both spectrums in the same way, only acoustic is a bit more extreme, being 1000X denser than air.

But once again, take it with a grain of salt, I work on radar (Mk. 95) on a daily basis so DW is like my job, only with the boring, crappy parts cut out.
