Link communication, bug or "feature"?
I'm using RA 1.40. I noticed it's possible to maintain link contact with friendly submarines even if they are not at comms depth but a lot deeper. Just asking if this is a bug or something or an intended feature - because it's quite gamey.
I think:
1. ELF should not be used to establish a link contact at all - in RL it's not suitable for that
2. Link contact with a submarine should be possible only if the sub is at comms depth.
[U]How to reproduce[U]
1. Place one playable and one AI submarine on a clean map, set depth for both at 1200 ft for example. Save and exit the editor.
2. Run the mission you saved.
3. Stream out ELF wire and wait. After a while you'll have a link contact with the AI submarine.
