Weird behavior with radar vs sonar

Halcyon · 09-01-17, 11:02 PM

I used ESM to get a rough location on an unknown contact, E3.
Sonar couldn't hear it, so I decided to put the radar up. I immediately got a return, which upgraded the contact to Master 3.

Miraculously, radar also made my sonar start working, because I got narrowband lines on him.

As soon as I lowered the radar mast, I lost sonar contact?

I could be wrong here, but if I can hear him with the radar mast up, why can't I hear him with it down?

Is this a bug with the radar mast operation? Is it giving me a sonar contact when it shouldn't be?
