I agree, this needs to be fixed. What is frustrating is the inconsistensy of it all. I was stalking a C3 yesterday at P depth with the scope at about 1000m range. My best sonar man had no idea he was there, so I went to the sound shack and pointed it out to him and told him to track this contact, which he did. When I told him to sweep then reacquire he had completely lost the contact, who was about 600m off my port bow at this point. Although he could not hear a C3 at 500m, he was able to detect a pair of destroyers way to the north, well beyond visual range. This makes no sense to me and leaves the player with a general distrust of his own crews ability to perform their jobs.
