Anti sonar coating - any good?

Get the coating but conduct evasive moves as if you didnt have the coating.

My thought is that it doesnt work to well.

Back in WW2, BDU was prolly scrambling to find something to combat the new sonar and radar the Allies had. IT prolly had more Psychilogical effects on crew morale. Just think a enlisted man finds out his sub has a new Anti-Sonar coating, he will "forget" about worrying to much and do his job better.

IIRC it adds between 10 and 20% off the chances of you being detected

You'll notice the difference, if you have the stealth-icon enabled.

With the coating present, there will be moments when the icon flashes from green to light-orange, just briefly...then maybe a 2nd time...but return to green again, if you perform the correct evasive procedures.
Or not, lol.
There's a stroke of luck involved.

Without the coating, the icon will flash to orange, green, orange, orange, red, orange, red, red, red, red, red, red, red...enfin, you know the drill.
