Yes, that makes sense to listen to both sides of the layer with a Towed Array.
In regards to streamed length, fully streamed length doesn't seem to help much in sensitivity it seems. At least in game. To reduce time it takes for the the baffles to swing after a turn it is usually sufficient to stream the TA only 1/3rd. Or 1/4th if it is also shallow.
Last week I dug up the manual errata of the game, and clearly read it on the first page:
[quoute]The 688(I)’s towed arrays can be deployed at the
same time; however, this is not recommended in shallow water. [/quote]Now, if they only clarified why not to use them both in shallow water.
