My sonarman is useless

When I ask my sonarmanto report the range to target he'll give a range that is very wrong.

If I ask for a range to target he'll report one thing. If I then instruct him to enter that range into the TDC he'll enter a range approximately half of that which he just reported. e.g. target is 10km away, he reports 4.5km, then reports/enters 2.5km into the TDC.

The range he reports also seems to be influenced by the TDC. If there has already been a range entered into the TDC he'll usually report a range slightly less than that.

Also, when I manualy use the hydrophones I get no text feedback of the range. So in order to estimate range I have been forced to send the ping and count the time intervals till the return ping. The time interval being the time it takes for the sound to travel 1km. This is both time consuming and horribly inaccurate.

Do I need to reinstall or just start a new career? Is there possibly an easier solution?
