I just played a scenario where I picked him up at 16km in the Kilo...was very easy. I had him going 5 knots at 550 feet. Narrowband got him....

I am guessing that the ease in which I picked him up will be fixed with the "patch"... :yep: :hmm:

How can you tell at what depth an enemy submarine is at?

Only way I know is forward looking HF sonar. And sometimes with 'educated guess' :up:

Fun fun, Where can i get this mission then? I wouldnt mind giving it a go.

If she see's you will she take action?

It's not that hard with the stock database. In the stock database the Ohio has the same noise level as a standard 688 and has the same passive sonar capability as the Chinese Han SSN, which is rather deaf.

it is kinda hard getting right behind it
