Hydrophone report bug?

[sumpis]

When I submerge the hydrophone operator usually forgets to tell me of hydrophone contacts that were reported in a previous submerged listening.

Sometimes he still reports contacts after I have surfaced, when in follow contact mode.

The watchman also sometimes forgets to tell me about new sigthings.

I recently installed SH3 Commander 2.6 and I am using RUb 1.45. I think this started when I installed SH3 Commander 2.6. Any suggestions?

Are the contact neutral?? My watch usually ignores the neutral ships.

Hmm, I think I sank the ship and got allied tonnage for it. I wish I had a logbook, that would be really nice!

Edit: Now I think I remeber it might have been a Trawler...

I never trust my hydrophone op - often he will report no sound contact and when I spin the wheel it almost blows my eardrums off. That department has never reached full efficiency for some reason (green bar along the top) like all of the other depts.

Now I had an encounter with a Neutral ship and the watchcrew didn't report it. Heck, there's the danger of colliding with it, no? Listen up crew! I want reports on everything new that's moving, understood?

And then it's strange that the watch can identify a merchant from a warship when I have problem seeing the smokestack at all in the horizon. Destroys the immersion/realism factor completely in that regard. Is it possible to turn off the identifying message?

Edit: I think the hydrophone reports works better now. I unchecked the "No Map Contact Update" as supposed to in RUb.

Can't they tell the difference by the prop sounds? I think there is a hydrophone mod somewhere which you can put in the academy and get lessons on identifying different types of ships.

I've also had the soundman continue to follow contacts after I had surfaced. I doubt it as anything to do with SH3 Commander.
