Too bad, that was a really useful thing for me to know sometimes.

I was wondering about this also. I seem to remember hearing this quite often in SHIII. Sonarman is not a lot of help in SHIV.

The soundman doesn't do much to help his skipper out in SHIV, does he? No info on when those hunting destroyers are dropping their charges, won't listen to anything above 56 feet depth, and won't inform you of a circular running torpedo even though he'll be committing suicide by letting it hit the sub.

Hmm...could the Hydrophone Operators Corps have been infiltrated by the Japanese? :hmm:

Well above the 56 foot level is more or less accurate as sound is lost in surface clutter. That being said I have however had my sonarman track at periscope level so may be a "skill" based issue.

The rest I totally agree with.

I think the "calls" for these were over looked.

Its a bit screwy the way it works now in 1.2, I have had my soundman call out contacts at PD and even continue calling them out on the surface, but it may depend on the crew and boat. I usually make sure I have a fresh experienced crewman on duty.

Its totally possible to have sound contacts while "surfaced" see the two funky "balls" hanging from the bottom of the boat ? Those are the hydrophones.
