But, with that said, the chin sonars are too good IMHO.

Subsonic maybe ? Thats kind advanced technology for the era.

Correct me if Im wrong but sonar working on the surface, well 'surfaced' with 1.3. Prior to that everyone was bemoaning the fact that the sonar cut off at periscope depth.

I personally think that not working or seriously degraded at pd is the way it should be. :hmm:
