[Req]Smoke on the Horizon

[rededge]

Maybe there is already a fix available for this, but is there any way of stopping messages like "Smoke on the Horizon" and "Ship Spotted" when you are in fact submerged? :06:

Are you looking through the scope when this happens?

I've noticed that putting up the scope is real helpful, since it seems somebody else is looking over my shoulder. Before I actually spot anything, some guy shouts out the contact!

Now that is downright nice to have if there are aircraft up there. You need all the warning you can get. It just isn't realistic.

so this happens submerged with scopes down? I haven't encountered this (yet) is why I ask. If so, I need to fix this in my UIs mod. That's not right.

Hmm, now you mention that..................I can't remember!
I think I was at the hydrophone station and then control room, and the message box was filling up with contacts (I'm moving slowly at periscope depth through the English Channel), and some clever dick is shouting out about ship spotted, and smoke on the horizon.

For 20 metres under the sea, that's skillful :shifty:

I'll report back with more specifics, but something amiss there. Could it potentially be a mod conflict?
Gut instinct tells me it isn't, but I've never run the game stock and have always had loads of mods active.
Just wondering if this is a common occurence, and others are experiencing the same thing?

This is happening to me when submerged and on use of option for sonarman of total revelation!

I think for any reason the program confuses the messages and it should be "sound contactac, mechant, baring.... moving away " and thus!

Just saw this thread, I have posted same problem elsewhere.
I get the message when submerged - even at 200 metres - and periscope down. No mods!

It's going to take an exe patch to fix :shifty: Another one of those 'missed' QA things

Pics at 200m depth or it diddn't happen.:yeah: Would'nt want the overworked TDW to be chasing red herrings without proper testing. Post your modsoup too!
