Preferred Sonobuoy?

No by itself .. of course .. but with 8 weak buoys you already have to know where the sub is. Which you usualy don't. And whole trick of helos is not to get FFG in torpedo range of the sub. With 4 VLADs you could really cover some area, because they have nice range.
Some scenarios for sure expect you to use all VLADs you can carry. I just don't get why VLAD shallow goes for 600ft !? What exactly is shalow on that ?
I would make all shalow-ones go to 90ft, all deep-ones to 800 ft.

Btw. how do I make helo to reload buoys ? They somehow don't want to do it .. or wait .. maybe they need just more time, right ?
