Looks very interesting. I was a Sonar Tech in the Navy onboard destroyer, USS Spruance DD-963. Though the technology has changed since WWII the basics are similar, Search, Localize and Track. I remember logging 4hrs of stack time while tracking one of our LA Class subs during an exercise in the Caribbean Sea.
Approximately 95% of all sonar search is passive, "listening". Depending on the area of patrol it can be very challenging, the ocean is huge but also a very noisy environment.

I'm usually like that with games nowadays, but this one looks like you spend the vast majority of time at a 2-d plotting table or looking at a 2-d gauge panel.
Doesn't seem like VR would add enough to that to be a deal breaker for not having it. Wouldn't mind if it did have it though.
