Hello,
thanks for the excellent forum and all the great threads. I've been lurking a while and have learned a lot from you guys.

I searched in vain for this topic but I would be surprised if it has not been discussed. I'd like some feedback about the performance of my subs passive sonar in Silent Hunter IV patch 1.3. I have the game running now, and am moving at flank speed, on the surface, in heavy seas. I would expect the sonar to be absolutely wiped out with all the ambient noise, but not so! I am somehow managing to track a convoy that is steaming along at slow speed many kilometers away.

Perhaps this is possible in a 688 boat but not surely not in a Gato!
What do you think?
(I have the realistic sensor setting enabled by the way)

(please by all means reply with pointers to relevant threads)

thanks again
