56 downloads , not much feedback . Do you think i should reduce the hydrophone operators ability a tiny bit .

Default don't see nothing...

I tried this with the "Pedestal" mission (where you start out with 9 warships within about 6km of the sub), but none of them are shown on the hydrophone, even after installing this mod.
I go down to nearly 40m, stop the engines, and still nothing...



I don't have IRAI installed, but that shouldn't be necessary, or is it?

No idea why it isnt picking up those contacts , i tried it with IRAI and its the same as you . But if you do the Past the rock mission it picks up every contact . Strange .

Might be related to the targets speed.

He is correct. In stock your hydrophone operator will not detect a contact until that contact is >= 0.25 * contact's max speed. With IRAI it's 0.075 * contact's max speed.

So this is why after I installed the wonderfull/marvelous/glorious IRAI I´ve been picking more contacts than my eels and skills can handle!

Well, I started using your mod from the beginning so I don't really have much to compare it to. I still find him kind of dumb though, as I can hear contacts that he never seems to pick up, at least in the last mission I did. I was chasing these two contacts for hours and could hear them easily but he never called them out despite having his abilities maxed out for detection. Other times he seemed to be doing okay.

Is this the best mod available regarding the hydrophone? Looks like not much activity/discussion.

I tried the mod, along with MO, and for some reason my sonar now picks up contacts surfaced, even at flank speed.
I don't know if both mods are compatible, but I thought I should report the issue.
Thanks for your mods

this mod has nothing to do with hydro at surface... if you are using MO you sould have hydro working only when submerged

the mods are perfectly compatible

So then the issue most likely comes from MO then ?
