I seriously do not think this game comes close to reality for many reasons. I cannot get a boat to perform anywhere near as well as our old cluncky 637 class boat did. It makes me wonder if they modled the sonar after paper cups and string attached to the hull.

Get in the editor and change the acoustic conditions. You can get a 2nd, maybe even a 3rd, CV contact on a clunky old boomer.
