S.O.S...
I'm in my big-@ssed Type IX-D, heading west in late 1943 to participate in Operation Drumbeat, and I get a message that there's a large convoy sailing due east just a short jog south of me. I run down to wait for the fun, and sure enough, my sonar man tells me he detects a lot of screws in the water. As they get closer, I go to hit the icon to ask for an approximate distance - and it's grayed-out.

Then I notice the "sende" button is missing from the console! I've had active sonar in every boat for a few years now. Anyone know what gives?
I'm running the latest patch. I did load the game from SH3 Commander, though; could that have caused it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and TIA.
