Hydrophone Broken?

Hi all.

SH4 version 1.4. Mods are mostly graphical and audio. A few Webster's mods too.

First patrol in 1941. Sub is a S-18 class. Have taken no damage whatsoever. Got curious because S.O. hadn't reported any sound contacts all the way from Cavite up around northern tip of Luzan and into Philippine Sea even though traffic was heavy-ish along northwestern coast of island. Got really curious when he reported nothing even as we neared a small merchant that I knew had to be just north of us. Merchant was spotted and in visual range but no report from S.O. Manned hydrophone myself at approximately 3500 yards and heard nothing. Re-checked intermittently every few hundred yards and still nothing.

Haven't sailed a S-18 since circa 2007. Please someone tell me this sub's hydrophone is worthless by design or else I'll fear it's a bug.

Thanks.
