Hearing pinging is not cheating!

I was surprised to read in the War ace mod that the 'Cheat' 'Enemy is pinging us'
has been removed.
As an Ex submarine sonar operator I can assure everyone that 'pinging' could be heard very plainly, and there was no doubt when the hunter was in contact, and also when on an attacking run. Sonar (or asdic as we called it then) was a dead giveaway of approaching convoys as the ping could be heard long before they were in detection range. Similar to Radar, where a radar intercept can pick up transmissions as much as 3 times their detection range.
Please restore it in the next mod.
