Hmm... I might try that too, just in case.

Another thing I just noticed was that, while on patrol, Benno picked up a warship on the hydrophone and I, being the curious sort, took over the station to hear for myself. Not that I doubt him, I just wanted to hear it.

But there was nothing. Even when turning the hydrophone to the EXACT bearing of the blue contact line, there was nothing. The blue contact line would fade and I'd hand it back to Benno and it would reappear.

Now, since this was about my 37th reinstall, on a new computer having copied all of the MODS from the old hard drive, I thought I'd messed up TDW's excellent sh5.exe patch, so I went and re-patched it, but it didn't help. Finally, exasperated, I used the external camera which I keep on for screenshot purposes and found that the "silent" target was actually a German TypeVII uboat. I don't know why it can't be picked up on the hydrophone and I really don't care as I'm not likely to be hunting my own guys, just thought it would be of interest.
