Whats interesting here is how active sonar is actually modelled. While the mechanics are ok themselves for usage - the Japanese escorts equipped with active sonar usually had it echo ranging constantly - whether or not there was a sub out there... Historically, some convoys were actually "heard" and tracked due to the pinging of escorts well before they were in visual range. My guess is that this isnt modeled because the engine can only "use" one sensor at a time. However, if thats the case - does is consider the oldest "sensor" of all time to sometimes be "turned off"? That sensor is the "Mk1 eyeball". I was thinking that the visual sensor routine was always checked. Any ideas?
