anti sonar

[U-84]

hey guys, do anti sonar coating that you can buy with renown actually work?..in game and in actual WWII:hmm:

[GoldenRivet]

i think in the game they degrade sonar return by a very small percentage. - unfortunately the coating is not enough to save your hide in lieu of poor tactics or decision making. - in other words it wont make you "invisible"

In real life? good question, i dont know of any data to support whether or not the material worked well at all.

seem to remember a post about how it would often come off the boat in chunks.

IMHO, it was just another one of the latest gimmicks

IIRC, the anti sonar coating reduces a chance of detection by 10%, the improved coating by 20%.
I'd say it's worth it. :up:

Not sure about real life...

ANYTHING that reduces the ability of the destroyers to detect your u-boat is a very,very,very good thing! :know:

Just don't let the technology serve as a substitute for smart tactics. ;)

Now go slip that rubber onto your boat! :yep:

Slap the coating on, it will reduce your detectability by 10%. Every little bit helps :D

Very well said, Kaleu... :up:

Thank you, Red Heat. :)

If I thought strapping fuzzy pink bunny slippers to my bow would reduce my ASDIC reflection, I'd do it! :lol:

Now all I really want is an inflatable u-boat decoy...loaded with enough Torpex to blast any escort to the moon when they drop depth charges on the decoy! :arrgh!:

From what I've read early on they had problems with Alberich shedding pieces (kind of like a dog shedding a winter coat). These bits & pieces would hang loosely to the U-Boat and make noise, making the boat more detectable.
