Yep, exactly. A 5ft sensor stuck on the end of a torpedo body shouldn't have comparable sonar performance as a thousand feet of microphones.

(am exaggerating when I say 50miles)
Actually, I have issue with the UUVs being modeled the way they are ingame at all. All the sources I read say that the UUV in operation/development are all anti-mine platforms at their heart and don't really mention tracking/target detection capability... at least in what I've read so far. Perhaps sometime in the future, along with electric drives, half-length torpedoes, and externally mounted torpedoes, but for now does a anti-shipping uuv actually exist? Why Sonalyst decided that UUVs were going to be TA on a string with tracking ability is kindof coming out of nowhere
Maybe its sensor capabilities should be cut back very very drastically... :hmm:
