[ADDED v1.14] Sensor information on contacts - 9/25/2013 2:04:23 PM

I got the game last night and was able to spend about 1 hour learning my way around.

One issue I ran into that I was not able to figure out while playing or from a quick flip through the manual was how to find out what sensors are currently detecting a contact. For example, if I detect an unknown contact with one unit (say with passive sonar), the message log lists the new contact and the sensor that detected it. I then send more units in to get more info about the contact and send the original unit off somewhere else. How do I tell which sensors/units are now picking up that contact? Similarly, if I pick up a ESM contact with a unit, then decide to flip on active radar to track it, how do I know if that target is now being picked by the radar? I had kind expected the "Contact Report" button to give me info on all sensors that are currently picking up the target, but instead that just seems shows me if the target itself is radiating. Am I missing something?

Thanks!

I believe it's only displayed when they first detect the contact, in the the Log.

I'd also like to see which of your own sensors are picking up the target in the Contact Information window.

Another related issue - I haven't yet seen any contact guesstimates on the Contact Info window (in the bottom panel) based on ESM intercept classification. Perhaps it doesn't show anything unless the possible platforms carrying that emitter has been narrowed down to just a handful?? For performance reasons, maybe? Or is it not done yet?
