"The submarine detector's job was to control the transmissions sent out every few seconds on a sweeping arc. We were taught to use earphones to follow the sound of the transmission out to its limits, 3000 to 4000 yards under ideal conditions and to listen intently for any sign of an echo. An echo was the ultimate sound of danger; the trigger for action stations; the start of attack procedures leading to the firing and dropping of 150 pound depth charges in patterns aimed at the conning tower of the attacker. Along with echoes, we were expected to listen for any sound of engines or motors in the ocean's depths."

I took this from here : http://jproc.ca/sari/asd_gen.html and as you see that in reality they could both ping and listen on the hidrophones for sounds and thats what i stated since the begining,when Ducumius told that they couldnt do the two things simultaneous in the game therefore i still maintain my position that this is an exploit that shouldnt have been brought to public .
