If you attempt to utilize this tactic, which has been discussed multiple times...a good OPFOR will see that your sub will have different tonals than the freighter. Granted, they won't be able to hear you over the sound of the freighter, but that's what narrowband is for. Then all they have to do is set the ceiling of his torps say to 60-100 feet to get you and not the freighter.

For real life, there is some uncertainty involved in this. First of all, the 'sub class X always emit tonals at n, n, n, n and n frequencies' we're having in DW is bulls^!& - the tonals generated will depend on the exact hull, plus an indeterminate number of internal conditions which may change from one moment to another - the cargo load of a freighter or other ship may affect what it sounds like. (This is part of why the periscope is as important as it is, RL) - what aspect you're at may also affect what sounds are sent in your direction.
In the face of that, a ship getting a "new" tonal may not be worth all that much attention.
(Or at least, this is my understanding of it)
But in DW, it's almost like calling attention to yourself. |
