When I encountered a visual contact without a corresponding sound emission I wrote down the conact and went in the mission builder to recreate the situation. In most cases speed was the predominant factor. The ships were not detectable in the phones at speeds less then 6 knots or so. I even tried changing weather conditions which had little effect. I think I a had about a 6 ships listed that I had done testing on.

Even stranger was that in some cases my crew would detect the target and would track it, but when I took the phones I could hear nothing.

I have not fould one IJN combat ship with this issue.

I am running 1.5 with RFB and RSRDC.
Interesting, I too have had the same issue. Although I caught it by accident, as I have been using my hydrophones myself a lot, and have heard contacts, not sure of the range or the type, but sounded loud enough to be detectable to even the most untrained of sonarmen.

Will post back if I can find anymore info.

If you can post the list here it could be possible that there is no sound attached to those ships. There aren't separate entries for each ship.

Do you have any sound effects mods installed or did you stick with the default RFB sounds??
