Wish something similar was in SH3 to make up for the lousy sonar man not being able to pick up an escort right next to the sub, regardless of direction.

Happens at least once a patrol; some escort charges me and between the almost inaudible prop noise of it in the game, and the lousy sonar man, one ends up on top of me at point blank range, all the while while the idiot sonar man tracks one far away.

Only been sunk once from it, but it's very unrealistic to have an escort (or a merchant too for that matter, same thing happens sometimes) not picked up by the sonar as it charges from far away to on top of the sub, or not to have some game artifice to simulate the job ala AOD.
