Radar range inaccuracies

Hmmm. Maybe I hadn't pinged more than a couple of times?

Seemed to me I always get a "nuts on" accurate reading after "sending" it to the TDC. The Message Text Box information (supposedly from the Sonarman) is always off, but the "sent" Sonar range has always been exact when I checked.

Could be the difference between me having all my gameplay "Options" zeroed out for testing purposes. Check marking that one option of "Realistic Sensors" may put a random accuracy measurement into the works??
