Please somebody fix that little problem.

Active sonar is the last thing you should rely on for detection. Active sonar will advertise your location much further away from where you'll get a usable return. for sub, deploy your tow array and change depth between layer once in a while moving at low speed. Also change heading by at least 45 degree once in a while since tow array is most sensitive to the side and not direct behind or in front.

For surface ship, you'll almost always be at a disadvantage. deploy your tow array and deploy your helos and have them drop sonobuoys at least 10 miles or more around your taskforce.

In cases where you need to travel a bit of distances to your objective, employ sprint and drift. Move at med to high speed and then slow down and listen but alway have you helos further out and drop buoys.
