Hydrophone isn't working even after patches and mods

I think one problem is the rotating hydro upgrade only picks up sounds from the sides and not front or rear . Its all messed up .

This is the first hydro you get in 1939, it's not upgraded at all.

The one thing that's bothering me is that sometimes everything works fine, and then thirty minutes later either the sonarman can't hear anything and I can, or the sonarman hears something and I can't hear it on the hydro.

Maybe it's just the effect of that same soup the cook has been making for 14 days straight.

That first hydro has 'blind spots' - they are so many degrees to the left and right of the bow and so many degrees to the left and right of the stern. Your sonarman cannot hear anything in these blind spots. Try turning your sub to broadside to the units and see if he can't hear them. Pointing bow or stern at contact with first hydro will get you nothing (blind spot)

The GHG (Side Mount) has arc sweep of 120 or 140 degree on each side of boat. Blind spots both fore and aft.

The KDB (Deck Mount) has arc sweep starting at 200 degree to 160 degree with 40 degree blind spot to aft.

The Balkon Gerat (Foreward Keel Mount) has a 330 degree arc sweep but has 30 degree blind spot to aft and Blind spot directly above boat.

The Nibelung (Bow Mount near Keel, foreward of Diveplanes) NOT ACTIVE in SH5

I have same type of errors witth the second version of the hydro( Not that I didn t have it with the first but I just don t think this has to do with blindzones). The errors don t seem to follow a pattern. I have noticed I need the hydroguy to sweep over the area the boats are to report them. usually helps.
sometimes I don t hear reported boats . Many times I hear a boat, but hydroguy don t report.(guess theyre "supposed" to be out of range.) I f I have multiple targets around me I can just guess wich target it pings when using sonar. I have tested a lot and the only thing that is certain is that I get same distance no matter what direction I point the sonar( hydro) .I assume I ping in the direction I listen. I tested with boats all around me... they were lying still so that might have caused trouble maybe. but hydroguy reported and I could ping them.That was aob practice tutorial. ping said 1860 meters. no boat was 1860 meters away from me. When I tested with a moving single target it worked excellent. I know I wrote about this before but lost track of the thread
