Sonar Realism

Thank you for the replies!

I also wanted to touch on tactics. I try to stick with tactics I think a real sub commander would use. To me, the primary concern is stay quiet and get the hell out of the area when being DC'ed after a torpedo run. I'm pretty sure due to simplified sound modeling, I can turn and dive all I want with no consequence. But I do believe turning your rudder and pumping water/relasing air for depth changes creates sound, thus increasing your probability of detection. Therefore, I usually go deep and stay at the same depth and course till I get out.

There's actually more to say, but didn't realize the time, and have to get to work. But feel free to let me know what you guys think tactics-wise till I get back!
