I thought to myself that it didn't sound correct to me that those particular boats had any kind of sonar. So I got on the internet and did some looking and as I figured no where could I find any descriptions about them having sonar. So I think you might want to keep that in mind for the next up date. Those tiny little tubs were deathtraps to begin with and I am sure the IJN wouldn't have wasted any sonar sets on something that wasn't expected to survive to begin with. Just sayin.
hey J,

you are correct: the IJN didn't waste any sonar sets on something that wasn't expected to survive.

That sub is not equipped with sonar in FOTRSU...only visual and scopes. no hydrophone either, so if she submerges, she has to see you to shoot at you.

looks like someone else was pinging you. (oh, boy)
