"Lost contact time" in sim.cfg, located in Data\Cfg.

This maybe a silly question, but how do you know when the Dd's are making a run, or over the top of you when underwater?

Watch the sonar bearings. You'll see bearings changing sharply as if the target passes over your sub, which it does. Also, you can hear them.

listen for them roaring overhead and in the mods, you can hear the depth charges when they splash in the water.Also, they switch to short scale, pinging becomes rapid, then stops just as they roar overhead to drop a pattern of charges.
