No more Active! Instantly made the 1968 Campaign more fun!

Disabled the Active Sonar on all 1968 subs (in the files in Vessels folder).

So much better. They can still do a good job tracking you on Passive, but at least they don't give themselves easily away, or spoil the stalking by suddenly going active. You can nicely sneak up on them to pump a MK37 into their baffles.

(Mind you: when a sub has a towed array the towed array needs to be disabled too, like for the Yankee SSBN. If this is not done the game goes bonkers).

Of course it's possible in 1984 as well, but doing this makes the MK48/US Sub combo even more Godlike. But for 1968 it works well.

It's not that much easier - they still fire torps (and a lot) if they get you on passive. And they also fire snapshots.

For me it's more satisfactory. And the surface vessels remained untouched, they can ping away. But subs stay silent. As subs should.
