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.

Will a future patch include units equipped with the Red Ryder BB Gun?

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.
Feed them boys some carrots!

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).
