Sonar in Subcommand seawolf realistic?

Thanks for the info, i've read through your old post.
I put the auto crew back on again, there is still fun in playing SC, but the sonar thing is useless now to me.

Im hoping a new nuclear sub sim will appear one day.

I like WW2 subsims too, but nuclear has the greatest charm on me.

Try to detect contacts first on narrowband sonar. Mostly you can detect and track a contacs low frequency signature (often just one line) before you can see a contac or assign a tracker on the broadband sonar (waterfall display).
I use the narrowband sonar to find contact if I have no contact on broadband, and that's as far as I know the autocrew also is doing. So if you switch autocrew on you wonder they suddenly mark contacs in broadband which are actually marked in narrowband. The tracker of course also appears on broadband, so you may think autocrew can detect contacs you don't even see.

THanks for the answer, i will certainly take a look at that.
Sounds interesting for sure.
