Depth Under Keel
 

Is that feature in sh5?

I dont have the game utill the 4th. But i think someone who did have the game that this feature was missing.

no, I have not found it yet.

Ok I was going to ask if the type VII even had an echolot in real life, but The Google told me yes.

"U-574 (Type VIIC) was stated to use two kinds of echolots. The one used in depths up to 300 metres, graduated in metres, indicates directly on a depth gauge, is operated electrically, and can only be used vertically. The second echolot has no limit for depth; it operates acoustically, and is also capable of being used vertically."

From watchinig movies and reading books (Tom Clancy) :D I have learned that a modern submarine might ping a target to get its range, but the sub would in the same process reveal themselves to others listening in the area.

So I am wondering if both of the echolod mentioned here, would disclose the presence of the submarine to others when used to get the depth under keel value.

:roll:

From CCIP mod.

Ctrl+D - Report Depth Under Keel.

Yep it works, just add the command.

Ok but without that Commands MOD it is impossible to ping the depth?

oh, hmmm i see what your saying, no i havent found the dial on the boat or an icon to click

Maybe it is an option for the 4th lvl from the Navigator man?
I dont know.

Gawd, you would think they would have 'taught' a basic skill in school to the man before they put em on your boat :haha:

"What's our depth under keel, obersteuermann?"
"Er... uh..."
"The depth under our keel, mensch. What is it?"
"Well, I... uh... you see, I was sick that day, Herr Kaleun..."
"Verdammt noch mal... fine, c'mere and let me pat you on the bum. There. How's your mother doing? Still living in Hamburg? That's nice. Now try some of Olaf's magic soup..."
"Ja-WOHL, Herr Kaleun! Depth under keel is... 183 METERS!"

Was that rats ear soup level 3?

There see he just needed a little coddeling !

:rotfl2:
You guys are funny!:haha:

Man I need new glasses for these old eyes. The first time I read this, I thought you were referring to

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocelot

(rubbing eyes) Google told you that the Type VII had a leopard on board.:o

I really need to get my eyes checked out. :doh:

yes it would but it was used when you werent around ships to detect you or if they already had you located you might use it to sit on the bottom without "hitting" it and sinking yourself

it wasnt done willy nilly and think of it like surfacing, you make sure its safe before you do it like in setting up an attack, before the enemy is in range, you locate where the bottom is so if you need to go deep to evade after the attack you know your limits

That reminds me... d'you think anyone's made the sonar dude cry yet?

"What's our depth under keel, obersteuermann?"
"Er... uh..."
"The depth under our keel, mensch! What is it?"
"I... uh... well, I'm trying, Herr Kaleun, but the ocelot refuses to go in the water without a fight and the medic's running out of iodine."

I gotta admit, i thought it was ridiculous to have a hydrophone operator that might cry... but now I really can't wait to ruin his day and have him bawling for home. Hope that doesn't make me a bad guy... :D
