Defect Name: Extraordinary sonar range Build: HCE 2007.000 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-071223 Scenario used: User scen - ROURKE.SCm Long Description: Extraordinary sonar range from DDG Burke and other vessels; sometimes in excess of 200nm CZs for even fairly quiet subs like Oscar and Victor III. This scenario was originally built for EC2000. For the re-building process, the editor changed the suffix from SCi to SCm and then ensured that all the units were proper.

Once Oscar is sunk, image "Lost contact 1" is shown requesting if search should continue 3. Then image "Lost contact 2" appears 4. Air group then returns to base even if there are still other subs in group ZXu Expected be…
