That's what I was looking for. After all, the sonar in WWII was not really capable of picking out a specific target amid ground clutter. Thanks!
Is there a specific keystroke for the diveplanes, or do you just set your ordered depth a couple of meters below the bottom? One last question: Did your IXB have the rubber coating on the hull (on the assumption that it might have worked for that, but not for a VIIb in 1942)?
