ASW aircraft always drop all active buoys

In all the missions where I need to assign aircraft to ASW patrol mission, they instantly drop all their active buoys and after that start consuming the passive ones. Is this really how it's supposed to be? My understanding is that, active buoys should be used only after a contact has been found, to find it's position more accurately. They have low operating time, so they are basically being wasted for nothing.

Maybe add a checkbox: [ ] Only drop active buoys to localize an ambiguous contact ?

Yeah we'd like to add expanded sonobuoy logics incl the ability so select different types of sonobuoy patterns such as lines and nets [8D]

Okay cool, nice to know that maybe you will do that in the future. [&o]
