Do ASDIC point 120 degrees in front of the ship or the back of the ship? It just states that Sonar detects ship within a cone shape arching 120 degrees across

Also, I am thinking about graphing the relationship between depth and distance due to sonar on a x-y plot sheet....Would you have any ideas what the slope may be?

If I understand this clearly, you take your depth and multiply it by 6 to find your distance, at which the sonar can ping you.... If I am not mistakened...Doesn't 315m multipied by 6 turn out to be 1890m and not 2000m?

Finally, where is the "blind spot"?

Would be very appreciated if these questions are answered, I didnt grow up loving sub sims, SH3 is my first sub sim and I AM ADDICTED TO IT! :rock: :arrgh!:

I found this post the other day that explains it fairly well.

Hope it helps and welcome aboard!
