Cloak and dagger aside, here is the summation of what little orginal work i did, and how to do them. Feel free to use any of this as you see fit, all i ask is you cite your source.



Type XXI uboat recharging bug "fix"
I came up with the orginal concept, If you want to know the gist of it, heres the threads:

Von Helsching has fine tuned it further i beleive and i would most certainly use his mod.



AI Hydrophones:
I'm not sure if i can claim this as a mod, but i beleive (and i could be mistaken) that i was the first one to experiment with this.

Individually thats how they seem to work, when you start mixing them is when things get fuzzy. Hmmm first reaction to these setting was to change noise to 0.5 (correct,) and wave factor to 0.20 or 0.25 (maybe incorrect). Natural assumption since thats how they scale.

Noise factor has ALOT to do with how fast your moving your boat. Primary factors are Engine RPMS.

Wave factor has ALOT to do with how high are the waves and how high an object is.. (what object i dunno, probably the DD)


So heres my thought out loud.

Just how much of the subs noises do i want the DD's to hear, and just how far do i want them to hear it on a (clear/stormy) day?
