Wow! that sounds backwards. I am reading a book U-boat Killer by Donald MaGyntire: an Ex RN escort group commander. He states they never used hydrophones..as it was a throwback to WW1...ASDIC was always the preferred method for detecting U-boats.

What would happen if in the SIM.cfg file, you were to edit the hydrophone speed factor? What would that do?

Also, what about changing the Sonar parameters? What does Detection time and lose time mean?

thanks
