Japanese Sonar does change some as the war goes on. (I won't say how or how much for now ). It doesn't change nearly as much as Allied sonar systems did though because--well--historically the Japanese stuck with fairly similar gear throughout the war and it was effective when competent people were using it. The Allies made huge changes to all their electronics.

Yes--that's basically correct as far as the cone describes. Ranges are different though. (Double Secret Enigma Classified). I'd rather not give ranges and the real numbers yet because I look forward to eventually getting feedback from more players. Knowing the numbers can detract from getting good information on how a mod "feels" by creating pre-conceived ideas (if that makes sense :hmm. All will be revealed in time though--it's not like I have magic cards up my sleeves .

Cheers!
