I lowered the AI sonar sensitivity a bit in the sim.cfg file. I lowered mine to 0.07 or 0.08 from the stock 0.1, can't recall right off.

It helps but the big issue is that when you're in front of a Destroyer and within a certain distance - they always turn on their active sonar. Unfortunately this was something the Devs added in the 1.3 patch. I thought the detection was great in v1.2 with the sonar sensitivity modded upwards (instead of down) and they would start pinging only if they heard you on sonar.

Now they just automatically let loose like they magically know you're close and go active even if they haven't detected you.
