{Req} Could someone make a mod so hydrophones do not work on surface in TMO?

sorry to dig up this thread again but im toying with the idea of switching of sonar while on the surface.

ive read ducimus's comments and they make sense but it doesnt play out like that when im on patrol. i cant remember a single time where the watch crew have spotted a ship 1st, its always sonar that picks up contacts.

another limitation is that we can pick up surface contacts yet dd's cant hear us, it should work both ways but it doesnt.

the visual range in SH4 is 16k's right? either ducumus is wrong bout how the AI works with regards to this issue or the AI simply cant see further than 8k's.

which is it?

I for one would love to be able to turn off the sonar at any time.
Once you have radar you really don't use the sonar except to evade escorts.
