OK, all hands on deck, all hands on deck! Man your battlestations, man your battlestations. All stations report when ready! Now hear this, now hear this! There seems to be a sonar problem on my Windows 10 machine. We need all hands to "test" their radar by manning the radar station themselves after a sonar contact is announced, and seeing if you can "see" and "hear" the contact on or near the bearing given. Also, check your baffles. Depending upon the submarine, you might be able to scroll to roughly 170-190 and hear your own screws. Report findings ASAP please. That is all!

But seriously Larrywb57, I had been considering putting the sonar sensors back the way they were, mostly because I found evidence of sonar being used on the surface and detecting ships, while the vessel was moving. The station was manned. I'll have to get my source to the computer and quote it for you all. Anyway, I did the swap and made myself a little "test mission" with the Modern Hansa Freighter (KGHAP). Then with two, a Japanese and a German. Then I added in the Hansa Freighter (KGHAN), then a KLSSHansa... nothing. No sonar at the station... when starting the mission, I would get a report from the Sonarman, and I could see the lines on the NavMap screen, but nothing at all on the sonar screen at all if I manned it. "Flying" out to the ships with the external camera, and there is no engine sound from any ship, and no screws are turning...
