So the real question is, are the capabilities of these heads grossly overmodeled in the game? The answer to that question would have to come directly from the sub logs themselves stating "QB contact" or "JK/QC contact" for under hull or "JP contact" for the sonar head on deck. Then a statistical study would have to be made to determine real wartime capabilities based on the evidence. I don't have access to that information.

I do not think the sonar is grossly overmodeled but we do have the absense of natural noises in the water. These noises that need to be filter out if possible. But, the books about and by the skippers did in fact state the sonar works while surfaced and I can tell you from personal experience with the USS Torsk, they do work while surfaced. I spend many a Saturday on the Torsk tracking the water taxis with the Torsk sonar
