Map with depth markings mod?

I had asked that same question myself a month or so again, as it's referenced on around page 32 of the vanilla version of the manual. However, I was roundly corrected by aficcionados of the GWX mos as being a "no incurred threat" function for users of GWX. I'd used it a couple of times for baiting in solo escorts whilst I had Type XI torpedoes (wow -- expensive!) ready to release at about 3500 meters. So either the GWX patch/mod restores the historical operational characteristics of the Atlas machine, or I was merely co-inky-dinkal in having the DDs turn towards me by doing a string of Atlas Echoes.
I'd always thought the Atlas was just a sonar/hydrophone unit pointed straight down, which I'd think was still detectable by anyone with a hydrophone and at least one good ear.
More experienced boat commanders tell me that, at least with the GWX package, it's not so.
One of these days I've still gotta wipe the drive on my Trojan-infected machine and start fresh. My kinda slow craptop machine *does* have GWX running, but things are so slow it's hard to tell....kinda like playing Eve on dial-up

Dunno if that helped, but since I've posed that same question, I thought maybe my exchanges would save you some time and wondering. As I re-read my response, I see I'm not really any more sure than I was before I asked.
