A review on RA would be really great since there aren't many videos out there. Here are a few of my comments based my experience with the mod.

Something I don't really like about the mod
1. Rip off speed for Towed Array on subs is too low. Even FFG can drag TA at 29kts without issue, sub TAs can only sustain 24kts. Given TA takes about several minutes to fully reel in, by the time you increase to flank, the attacking the enemy torp is well on its way to find you. I like 30kts as portraited by some other mod out there (I forgot the name of it).

2. Spherical array is less useful than LWAMI. Practically useless in ASW fights.

3. Spherical array less accurate. Sometimes a contact bearing jumps around even though the target didn't do anything. I can understand when this happens to a TA, but not spherical

Those are just my 2 cents. You can see for yourself.

Otherwise the mod is great. I really liked it.
