You're really good job Stoianm :up:

Just watched the hydro-hunting tutorials. Very well done. :up:

I don't use 100% real navigation and I leave on hydrophone contact lines but this is still very useful for me. Thanks.

One question...this mod that you reference "3)SH5.exe patch (hydro) v0.0.1 and v0.0.2", is this just the official game patch or the hydro fix that TDW came up with?

It is the hydro fix that TDW came up with:up:

Ok thanks. I guess I need to d/l a hex editor.

Another question I have... How is the sonarman getting a range when you ask him to "estimate range to target"? Wasn't that impossible in real life? I know they can guess if its long range, medium range or close range but to get an accurate range reading wouldn't you need active (pinging) sonar?

Just trying to understand all the forces at work here. Thanks.

the fix that tdw made read from an cfg file the speed that the sonar guy report for you.. in sh5 the ping sonar it is not working... i know in real life they used the ping for estimate the distance and they used the rev engine chart to estimate the speed by hidro but this is not working also in sh5... so about me the sh5.exe patch is an compromise to simulate the sonar ping for range... the diference is that now the navigator estimation for range is to precise ... you can use or not.. it is up to you... i use this when i hunt in heavy fog days

Thanks for the reply. I'll probably still use it. Just wanted to understand.

By the way...you wouldn't happen to be Romanian would you? The accent in your videos sounds familiar to me. (I'm not Romanian but spent some time there years ago.)

yes... i was born and i grew up in Romania.

Cool. I thought that was a Romanian accent. I really enjoyed my trip there. went in 2004. Botosani, Sibiu, Bucharest, Sulina, Brashov. Saw all the Dracula stuff. Very interesting.

yep ... Romania is a nice country ... so you excaped from vampires?... most of people that visit Dracula place did not excape alive... or maybe you are also an vampire now as me?:haha:... btw from where are you?

Yeah, I got to visit Vlad Dracul's castle. Very cool.

I'm from the U.S.

Nice video. Thank you for posting it.

One Question:

While using the realistic fuel setting why did you navigate to your Patrol Zone at maximum speed? It is a very inefficient speed for fuel consumption.

Perhaps because the PZ was fairly close to your base?

:D - trevally asked me the same thing... i do usually.. i use 7.5 knots .. i was focused at my english and i forgot to explain that:up:

:D Understood!


Since we can visibly see gameplay from your point of view in the videos.......could you post your mod list please?

yes .. no problem... here:

HOLY! :hmmm:

I have 8 mods and was thinking of dropping one. :ping:

I'll have to sort through your list. I DO like the look of your crew and interior.

Thank you.
