Perhaps the real solution here is a return to the cursor on the chart, as was in sh2. It seems to me ,that a "ping" implies the use of SONAR rather than obtaining depth information from a chart as was the case. We still use Admirality charts today in one form or another.

Good point. When I heard that ping I had concerns about whether it would be dubious to use with enemy vessels around.

I'm sure Sub Command, the last subsim I actually enjoyed, had water depth information tied to the cursor position. I sure wish Sonalysts were still in the business of creating naval sim games :(

The point here is the "ping". German U boats were not equipped with SONAR or AKA by its British name ASDIC.:hmmm:

Depth Under Keel was determined via the Atlas Echolot device. That's the "ping" you hear.

Thanks for that piece of information. Is that "ping" from the Atlas Echolot going to give your position to the enemy?

I don't believe so.
