Help needed! Sonar spotting ships when surfaced!

Thanks for your quick reply. Do you mean to say that US subs were able to use their sonar while surfaced? I didn´t know that. German U-Boats couldn´t, that´s for sure. Well, the Atlantic is much rougher than the Pacific... Cheers, AS

If you do not want to have that hability... just down the max sensor height under the sub draft, but be sure do not move it under the sub keel depth when at periscope depth or it will not works at peri depth.

You must to individualize wich sensor is it... then in example for a sub with draft 6 and peri depth 15 move max sensor height at -10.
