Hi, I discovered the way to fix the helo hover-freezing problem, just go to your weapons control station (F8 key) and select a submerged target on the scope and click 'engage'.
If you don't have a target there already just make a manual one on the map then do it that way. After that is done the helicopter should start heading towards the waypoint you gave it originally, or any waypoints you give it from then on.
As far as the dipping sonar, TLAM Strike mentioned to me that the FFG7 in game carries 2 LAMPS III helos which don't employ the dipping sonar (I.E. it's not the same helicopter as the user flyable one in the game). I'm not sure if this is accurate, at a quick glance FAS.org says that the LAMPSIII carried by the FFG7 has an AQS-18A dipping sonar. That's an older helicopter, the MH60R is even newer and it also has dipping sonar.
Having MAD data linked would be nice too.
