Cool that the AI is no longer getting a God's eye view but without improved AI tactics, wouldn't it lower the difficulty?

So clearly, SOME sonar can detect wrecks, but why can some sonar detect wrecks but not others?

Is it actually released? I'm not seeing it as a download option. Thanks.

EDIT: Never mind, opted out of the beta and opted back in and it updated to 1.06.

Had a Juliet on the '68 'kill subs 200 miles north of iceland' that evaded below crush depth and blew up in front of me.
In the same mission, the November briefly spent some time on the surface.
I should note this was my 'neverending' save game... a campaign that never seems to resolve started in 1.05 and just throws the same 5 missions at me.

One unit tracks, the other unit prosecutes. Submarines don't do this, since they can't communicate with other units, like air or surface units can.

+Yes the 1.05 campaign takes quite some time to resolve given how much longer the devs made it. You do get there eventually, it'll just take a while, and if you fail any missions it makes it just that much longer as well.

Does anyone know how to force an update in Steam? My version keeps saying v1.05b. When I click "View All News" for Cold Waters v1.05b is shown as the latest update.

EDIT -> v1.06 is actually listed as a BETA so I had to enable BETA download. Once I did that the update started downloading

Had a bug in the single player mission where I hit the ship with torpedo and it flipped over and the game showed it as "sunk" yet it was still moving with propeller power and dropping noise makers...

Berserker · 07-20-17, 05:03 PM

I have mine on auto update and all I see is 105b..So I op out of that then reopened and still at 105b no update...What have I done wrong this time???

It's in beta. You have to opt-in to the beta branch.

Berserker · 07-20-17, 08:06 PM

I open steam right click on cold waters right click on properties left click on beta it shows that I am on auto update go to beta code right click.....Nothing happens. How big is the file/update??

letterboy1 · 07-21-17, 12:56 PM

You must opt out of beta and then enable beta again. Silly, but that's what does it.

Side-Scan is a HF active with a relatively short range... IE, it's a specialized application. Your standard longer-range MF active works as described earlier.

Side Scan is like creating an image from sound so it's more about combing the area over and over and building up a picture chunk by chunk. Even with interference you're probably going to see some kind of pattern emerge that a human can identify as a wreck or whatever.
