I remember doing this sort of thing early on with Sub Command. The input to the interface depends on the sensors assigned to the platform in the database, so the sonar wouldn't become inherently more sensitive - at best, the interface will be kinder in allowing to pick it out.

The akula NB interface allows picking out any frequency the moment it appears, while the SW NB requires you to scan - but you better be there at the time, or you won't know it was ever there.

And the broadband history is quite useful in determining "what's going on" at a glance. Once you have the experience.


Anyway, it would be possible to have the akula BB be a "water drain" towards the center rather than the "waterfall" towards the bottom. If SCS decides to do that, which I'm somewhat doubtful of.
I would certainly not be surprised if I learned the russians had actually done that in their subs, rather than the time-less interface we see now.


I don't know the legal status of these modifications in DW - they certainly don't create new platforms, but then again, if the LA talked about the code and files... And I believe the steam buyers will have their DLL interface files locked anyway.
