indeed. And the thing of it is that it doesn't seem to make sense for doing it that way. As Ducimus points out, an AI DD can only use one sensor at a time which would make it pretty easy to say "use passive unless you have a contact, then use active". What I keep coming up with is that the devs thought it too easy to evade passive detection, or perhaps the DD's don't use active correctly after making a passive detection.
Another thought I had is that the game doesn't actually model active sonar but instead just throws some dice against certain numbers, such as aspect angle, sonar cone dimensions, etc, to determine if you are detected or not and it doesn't matter which system they are using at the time. But I am neither a programmer nor an experienced modder of this game so I'm just talking out my butt on that one.
