Hi Team,

I think I've found an issue with dipping sonars on Helos in Build 554.

I've found that there appears to be no passive detection with helo mounted dipping sonars even when hovering above old soviets subs running at flank speed.

I have tested this with CWDB and DB3000 aircarft:

- Sea King MK50 (HAS.1 Mod)
- Wessex HAS.31
- Lynx HAS.4 (FN)

Against a range of subs that should be reasonably noisey:

- Whiskey IV
- Juliet
- November

Each time the sub was invisible during the dipping operation if the sonar was passive, but detected immediately if the sanor was swithced to active. Contact was lost again as soon as active sonar was turned off (but while the Helo was still in dipping mode).

In one test run I dropped a passive sonarbouy over the sub and confirmed that I was able to detect \ track the sub (and often ID it) under the same conditions.

I've attached one test run (Just a whiskey running around the place at flank with a Sea King near by.)
Manual dipping or setting an ASW patrol doesn't seem to make a difference (ie active detection happens but no passive even directly over head.)

Thanks for taking a look

Thanks Dobey

Took a look and it does appear that something is off although not sure what yet.

I've added this to our list of things to look at. Thank you very much for reporting it.
