THe 360 degree rotating hydrophone is mounted on the deck, not the hull, so you need to dive to get it in the water. Motor a likely area, dive to 25m, stop all engines, sweep...sweep... rinse and repeat.

I usually go to 40m. Anyone know if thats too deep?

[Captain_AJ]

30 meters for me and also you need to mod the hydro for better effectivness .. stock hydros suck
look At TDW post .. the dark wraith I will not play sh5 unless its modded otherwise I would have threw it away ..

If you are using REM MOD I think max detection range is 25 meters or deeper.
We decided this depth because there are area's you must patrol where you can not go much deeper.

Originally, I wanted Max Detection Range at depth of 50+ meters.

Wouldn't detection be adversely affected by the thermal layer at that depth?
Are thermal layers modelled in SH5?
