Sonar/Radar Hull Coatings - any effect?

[uhu]

I'm curious, if it has any effect for the subs - in the game is only said, that the germans hoped, this will help again sonars.
So, what are your experiences?
Have anybody tested with and without of hull coatings?

[Coolhand01]

From my experience it has little effect...BUt that is better than none at all...Just my opinion...CH

I follow CH on this one . I am not sure neither . Ask the RN and the USN ... :hmm: :-j

Cheers .

I installed the coating, and shortly afterword I escaped from a destroyer in 130 meters of water rather easily. Prior to this I usually had to work at it for hours and suffer some damage, (sometimes 100%).

I did see some difference with Albertich. My best guess would be that it reduces the chance of a DD finding you by ~15%-30%.
