You say you set all the DD's to elite? Seems odd, especially about their lack of persistence.

I don't know what the game provides in the way of sound gear, but if they all get the latest at the same time, it is highly unrealistic. First, they would have to manufacture the equipment (not easy for Japan to do), then the DD's would have to be taken out of service for the installation, and if they were to be capable, a period of training would follow. All this would take time.

Is it possible that the sound conditions vary? (I mean apart from the wind and waves.)
