French and British Sonar

Bias based on nationality seemes to be a little bit of a reccuring theme I encounter on the forum of every sim I've played...
Just have a look at the Il2 Forgotten Battles forum for some classic examples...(Mustangs won the war...Focke Wulfs are undermodelled blah, blah, blah....yawn)
Unfortunately if you have a preconceived opinion (EG:US equipment is the best...or Soviet equipment is unfairly viewed as being unsophisticated or inferior) its likely you will look for evidence that supports your own point of view...

Facts are that each nation is likely to have strengths and weaknesses...

US are strong in Deep Water Sonar & Integrated Combat Systems
Soviets have proven ability in deep diving fast submarines and strong/damage resistant hulls
Many European navies have extensive experience of shallow water/high target density environments
Etc etc...
