As for the sonar issue LCQ_SH, it is one of several such issues you will encounter. Check the "rating" of the sonar man. You might not have a good "listener" at the post at the time you're hearing what he can't. You can also "point" the hydrophone in the desired direction, and sometimes they will then be able to hear it, though they won't always "follow" it. You will also find times where if a ship is going less half of its rated speed, you'll not be able to hear, yet the sonar man can. Very strange.

What I'm wondering is if realistically I'm supposed to listen a ship far away and my sonarman is actually correct by not being able to listen and I am just listening something that should not be able to. As this is sometimes how I track down ships, I search on the hydro and see the green light on, but still to far so my smart sonarman can actually suggest he is listening to something. Or am I being a succesful skipper by a ingame bug?
