RFB needs your help re: decoys

Okay, here's the thing: we all know that American submarines, at one point in time or another, used some sort of contraption to spoof Japanese sonar. However, the only reference I've seen to an officially-used decoy (on these boards, at least) is in reference to the testing of a decoy in April 1945. Obviously, very late in the war and unlikely to have been deployed before war's end.

So, with that said, we (the RFB team) are debating about what to do with the whole decoy issue. Do we axe them completely or keep them in? Personally, I'm leaning towards getting rid of them completely, since it seems to be the case that no real, true, Navy-accepted decoy was employed on American submarines before war's end. If you have evidence to the contrary, please, make it known here so the RFB team can adjust the game files appropriately. Thanks!
