Was just playing around with some all out airborne ASW sanitization scenario with a Kilo and some P-3s. Watching from the Kilo with 'show truth' on, I noticed that there were no sonobuoy icons appearing on the screen even though both P-3s were set to 'sonobuoy search' of a reasonably small area. Does the 'sonobuoy search' tactic actually work, but the sonobuoys are invisible? Or do aircraft not actually drop buoys even though they're supposed to? Do I have to preposition a sonobuoy field if the aircraft are not human-controlled?

Thanks in advance...
