Sonar and radar - worth the investment?

I don't use either one, as they tend to be too much of a liability to me, personally. Too many times they drew DD's or aircraft to my position and ruined my attack approach. The radar warning equiptment is good to have though. It let's you know if there are lots of escorts by the ammount of warnings you get.

I prefer to stay with the hydrophones and the upgrades as they become available. It's not as effective as the more modern gear, but it will make things easier for you, as you can still sneak up on a convoy, and get into a pretty good firing position, albeit further distances than you may be used to.
