Hey guys one more question in real life when american subs submerge did they have 2 guys on sonar like did they have one guy on the jp gear and one guy on the QB gear?

avers · 06-22-14, 02:37 PM

Let me rephrase. You guys said that us fleet boats have 3 sonar heads one is the T top one on the top deck (called JP gear) there are 2 heads under the hull
called QB and QC/JK. Each one has an amplifier which is the controel panal where the sound man would sit. Each amplifier is in a different location. The one for the T top JP gear is in the fwd torpedoe room and the one for the under hull ones QB and QC/JK are in the conning tower. My question is when a sub submerges would they have 1 guy on the sonic JP gear (which has a longer range) and 1 guy on the super sonic QB and QC/JK gear?(which has a shorter range because super sonic waves don't travel as far as sonic) or was that only at battlestations?

Does anyone care?

TorpX · 06-23-14, 09:47 PM

I give you an answer if I knew.

The game's sound mechanics are rough and ready, at best. I kind of gave up on getting realistic sound modeling in the game, when I realized I could 'hear' ships sailing on the opposite side of an island.

I know fleetboats had some degree of surface sound listening ability, because O'Kane wrote of them listening for Japanese subs while stopped on the surface, as a precaution. He tested the idea while training between patrols with a another sub attempting to sneak up on them. IDK about how many men they had on duty, or exactly what equipment they used.

Thanx hey another question I heard sh4 supports widescreen just a question what should I have the game res set to be optimized for my 22inch. 1920x1080 monitor?

TorpX · 06-27-14, 12:48 AM

I can't help you much with this. I haven't experimented very much with that. The few times I did (using a higher resolution), things seemed too small and the results were not pleasing.

My monitor is a 22" HP 2207 with a 1680x1050 res, and the game resolution I use is 1024x768. Maybe someone around here has some suggestions for us.
