Is there anything that can be done to fix this? I am hoping it will be fixed with a future patch but for now....
I searched around for something on this but to this point have not found anything.

Is this happening with a periscope up?

No with regards to the periscope. If it was

Yes, for me. It's happening every time the periscope up

Do you have the "total revealing" ability on?

I don't know what is it but I don't think. I play in realist option :)

If the periscope is up, and your at periscope depth then thats why. Even in SH3 if at PD, and periscope is up, then the WO is theoreticly at the periscope scanning.

If deeper or periscope is down, then thats a bug of course.

This is an option with the sound man isn't it. What I find funny though is when he is reporting " smoke on the horizon " when I am submerged 90m.

Maybe they were floating the radio buoy?

Is he actually reporting contacts, or just saying the words? Would be a whole different problem if he where actually seeing and plotting (for those with map plots "on").

Saying words, the stuff I mentioned: " smoke on the horizon "...... stuff like that.

Exactly, he say the words, but there are no contacts on the map (I use the NoMapUpdate option off) and I dont' see any contact with the periscope.

Perhaps an event is linked to the wrong sound file?

I should have mentioned in my OP that this happened to me when I was getting my ass blown ( depth charged ) off by a Task Force :yep:

I noted that when I come out of TC, there sometimes are a couple of reports/depth/speed/course verbal notification (as if there is a buffer for it when in TC)

Yes ! Maybe. I use the Stormy's DBSM sound mod. I can search here :DL
