No more Active! Instantly made the 1968 Campaign more fun!

You still need to manoever smartly - so much different from the active sonar trigger fest that happens now.

In 1968, I tend to manage to keep my numbers below that critical +10 fairly easily until I can get into his baffles.

Personally, my proposal is to degrade the quality of the information provided by the acoustic intercept receiver. The WLR-9's DFing ability is apparently classified, but the MGK-400EM's isn't, and it suggests at higher frequencies the accuracy degrades, fast - possibly because the signal can be shorter and then there's insufficient time to lock on properly to it.

But yes, I agree that it would be nice if they sweep their baffles more often, particularly when running. Even brief looks can often give them the opportunity to detect a sub running up desperately to cream them with those useless Mark 37s.
