I agree with hauangua, for the US side. If using the German side, be aware that only the game's "global" settings are altered in FotRSU. The only other alterations in the German files in FotRSU is for the campaign files compatibility. ie: we altered the ship calls to match what they are in FotRSU. We neither added nor altered traffic, so all of the bad, multiple spawns in one location, and the ship spawns that occur on and in land are still there, just like in the incomplete UBoat Missions add-on from Ubisoft. What I would do though, is back the Mods off one at a time, and test the Uboats after each. Pay particular attention to the Turm mod. If you don't have the UPCUnitsData folders, that could well be the problem... In the meantime, I'll "test" my sonar stations on the two boats in my FotRSU install here within the next hour.

Edit: OK, using Single Missions, I have "tested" the 9 & 18, and both sonars work in FotRSU with no other mods. I do not get any reports from the crew, until very close to a ship, and then they'll report from "Medium distance" at best. Raising the scope, I'll be about 2500 yards away. If I "aim" the head myself though, no problem "hearing" from much greater distances. Similar in the career with the Type IX-D2

Guys, thank you!

Basically, I'm not of the opinion that external mods must be avoided - beta version or not - but you have to look at where these mods change what! Propbeanie had the right nose.

I was afraid of the "single test", because I probably had this idea somewhere deep inside, but I really like the snorkel mod! Unfortunately he is the bastard. I'll take a look at the three UPCUnitData's again. Maybe there is something else to save. Anyway, now this passive sonar is running again as it should.

And the "holes" should not be the problem. It's not like the boats are indestructible. I was also no time out of the window (äh sudden death, understand?), if I had deliberately or intentionally gone within the range of heavy ship or coastal artillery. Thank you again!

You'll probably find a mis-match in the sonar equipment between the two sets of files. Use WinMerge and compare the text files in UPCDataGE / UPCUnitsData / UnitParts*.upc files and maybe the Equipment.upc file. Also, check the Submarine folder, upcge files.
