Yes Sergei I'm sure a lot of people would be interested, me included. There's so much to fix every little bit helps.

Me too! Did later war u-boats have Hydrophones that could detect surface vessels while surfaced?

Not that I'm aware of. The earliest array was a set of sensors around the bow, so they were subject to water disturbance. The one that rotates was mounted to the deck, so when surfaced it wasn't in the water at all.

US boats had it mounted under the keel.

Ummm, i was under the impression that it already does not work on the surface. It even tells you so in-game, when you hover your mosue over it.

Though i play with map contacts off, so maybe you are right. I've been diving everytime i want to use it.
