Well sonar was a crucial device in ASW. So it should have been there and could be just a bonus tick in ship anti-submarine detection capacity. Since i don't know maybe it required to much resources to do it. Not perfect but one option is to edit anti-submarine weapons making w/ sonar and without sonar versions.

Maybe with the editor, you will be able to assimilate?.I figured out how to make Goliath s and Piper J 3's in SPWAW.

That is what i wrote, edit those weapons making a version with factored Sonar input, or do you mean something diferent?

I meant you (as an individual) might look for ways to do this, which would not delay the AE team.

This suggestion in no way indicates you might not have a good idea, but the AE product is far enough in its' development any further modifications might be saved for possible future patching.

Well....the Jap warships stayed with the troopships to defend them. For all they knew, the PT might have been a "draw".

True. There is also the performance of the lookouts.

Japanese:
The lookouts failed (until a certain time) to see one very small target on a night with 7% moonlight. Fair enough.

Allied:
The PT lookouts failed to see ANY of 37 larger to very much larger targets until that same instant. And conditions were clear.

I think the PT boat was out of torps and ammo when it "attacked" (aka "stumbled upon") the ships, having been involved (with a buddy) with another TF of mine prior to this action (and loosing its buddy, but badly hurting a DD).
