• About this mod:
  Regrettably, I’ve never been pinged by a British destroyer in my life, but according to some accounts by former U-boatmen, the sound of a sonar ping -as heard inside a submarine- could be alternatively described as “a hammer hitting the hull”, “gravel or pebbles bouncing off the hull” or even “the sound of steel cables being dragged against the hull (!)”. Confused by these partly contrasting descriptions, I’ve decided to collect some sound samples available on the web that seemed to match one or more of the above descriptions, letting players to chose the one they like most. The mod is thus available in four versions:
  
  - “Distorted”: a gloomy, somehow disturbing sound, taken from a vintage recording;
  - “Booming”: another grim sound with a lot of reverb that will make you to jump on your seat;
  - “High-pitched”: a piercing and quite irritating sound that will make you to hate your pursuers;
  - “Das Boot”: the (stereo)typical ping as heard in many movies, captured from the film by Wolfgang Petersen in this case. Probably not very realistic, yet highly evocative.
  
  
• What is new:
  - New Sonar.wav (main ping sound);
  - New Sonar_Coat.wav and Sonar_Coat_imp.wav (ping sounds heard after selecting anechoic coatings as sub upgrade).
