Sonar Contacts

I agree that in a game context you should see farther, hear better, etc, than any crewmember for immersion purposes.

However
Radar rules!
Sonar's second string!

hehe...I knew he would disagree with me. I can't tell if RADAR has ever 'outted' me before, but I'll stick to my guns on the sonar.
SUBPACCOM recently talked me into trading up from my porpoise to a gato... I noticed after I got to sea that they didn't give me the surface radar gear that I had on my porpoise, nor can I buy it even. WTF?

Ahh well...at least I have the sonar.

That's one silly aspect of the game. You get a new boat, you lose all you're equipment. I took a Gato to late 44 and had all the newest equipmen. I took the Balao and was back to early war setup. Like that would really happen.

But yea dont forget to fit out your new boat... not that I have ever... uhhh theres a save before you leave port too you know.

I always save plenty of points before I take a new boat, but I should be able to save those. I like having about 20,000 in renown when the M16's become available...nothing like a full load of those.
