[Q] Filtered out contacts

Filtered out contacts are keep shown as ghosted. Can I make them disappear (same as with "do not show" for Sonobuoys)?
I would like to declutter my screen from identified civilian vessels, for example.

This is generally a bad idea.

To understand why, search this forum for "bug reports" starting with "my MPA plane/helo is not dropping sonobuoys". See how many of them end up being a case of "sonobuoy visibility set to 'Do not show'".

Filtered-out contacts are still there in the simulated battlespace. They still make noise (if boats), they can mask others, they can suddenly turn hostile or become targets for the hostiles. You don't want to forget about them, even accidentally.

I can live with that. But I would rather not to :-)
