Default Reduce AI sonar?

Hi

Even if i go down to 120m and constantly turn, a mark I destroyer in 1941 will pinpoint me exactely, set charges to right depth and pretty much kill me in the first run more often then not. Which is annoying since if i stay closer to the surface its even harder to survive.

1. Can i tweak the efficiency of enemy sonar/pinging?
2. Can i increase the damage i can take before i die/everything is flooded?

I know this might not be historically correct, plz help me anyway
Erik

Under my signature, go to the filefront link and download "No instant deathscreen mod 1.2".

You can find detail about that on here:

Thanks
Looks cool, ill try to tweak zones.cfg myself and increase some numbers until i got what i want.

Any ideas on how to limit the extreme "finding the german sub" skills on enemy ships?

So there is some setting for each sub that tells the game how much sound it makes? Do you know in which file and where to look?

I find "NSS_Uboat2A.cfg" and other files for each submarine but no data inside that appears to control sound/how easy it is to ping...

Sim.cfg and AI_sensors.dat are the files that rules how the AI will be: more expert or just blind and deaf. Sim.cfg is easy to understand and edit (a txt file). AI_sensors.dat needs to be open with S3D.
