DW Sonar detection range.

Quite possible.

But i have to point out that i have clocked serious time in testing this situation.
Making a mission with some random ships at certain distances and depths.

Anything above 50miles is a no no. (there is a difference of course between surface and subsurface ships)
Even if i operated the sonar by hand (which i really like) it did not work.
If i did see a noise on the sonar, i was not able to mark it.
If the signal is too weak (even if visible on the waterfall display) it will not mark period.

I have no high hopes of Sub command anymore. I wanted to buy DW because i was hoping this sonar part had been seriously improved. But at the moment i have no confidence and i am actually looking at a ww2 subsim.
(i prefer nuclear though)
