I had little luck with this one, edited myself two lines. And that was all it took to fix the poor DD's performance:

Go to your Ubisoft folder. Go to:

Data/Cfg/Sim.cfg

edit this file with notepad. If you are running WinVista you might have to copy the file to he desktop or something because of edit file permission settings.

Go to this part of the file:

[Hydrophone]
Detection time=1 ;[s]
Sensitivity=0.03 ;(0..1)
Height factor=0 ;[m]
Waves factor=0.5 ;[>=0]
Speed factor=15 ;[kt]
Noise factor=1.0 ;[>=0]
Thermal Layer Signal Attenuation=3.0 ;[>0],

Change Sensivity to 0.08 (forexample), and Thermal Layer Signal Attenuation to 2.0.

Save and overwrite the old file. Be sure to take backup!

The DD's will hear you with their hydrophones much better now, and the thermal layer will give you a little less protection against their sonar.

The problem with the mod CCIP mentions is that the hydrophone sensors have been changed to lower sensivity.

I did a lot of tests on this and found out that increasing a bit here will make the DDs more challenging!

Hope this is helpful!
