Players shouldn't expect Ultimate will react like the other mods, or the Stock game. Unlike the Germans, the Japanese did not have the technology as their counterpart, or especially their enemies! Radar was not used on all ships, even late in the war; Active Sonar wasn't on all warships, especially the smaller ones, They did have Passive Sonar (Hydrophone) capabilities but it wasn't very good. As a matter of fact, all of their technology was inferior to the Germans, and especially to the Allies.

You guys have gotten used to the game play of SHIII (which SH4 is a cloned sibling), or other mods that just didn't try to create the actual capabilities of the enemy. Ultimate tries to do that.
