WE: We've been detected, Sir!
 

So, I am trying some practice missions.

I have realism at (100% - automatic map plotting).

So, I am submerged and the Weapons Officer says, "We've been detected". I am not really interested in how the enemy has detected us. However, I want to know how can he possibly know at this point that the enemy has detected us? (I had simply gone to flank while submerged. Now, most likely they heard us.) But the enemy has yet to ping, yet to drop any thing, yet to charge over our location ... The scope is down too. So, how can anyone on our sub possibly know what the enemy knows or thinks at this point?

This reminds me a little bit of some of the missions in Sub Command, where a god like voice booms and says "you have been counter detected". Where's the realism in this? Shouldn't I have to deduce myself that our element of surprise has been compromised?

Thanks.

Check the name of your SONAR/RADIO petty officers. I have one named Walter O'Reillyheim.

True that is unrealistic, but man going flank...you might as well ssay, "They must have detacted us kaleun, unless they are dumb as well as deaf". :p

Doesnt GWX do away with this message?

i have not heard it in quite some time... of course im a sneaky bastard though too.

That picture is full of win :rotfl:

Nice one Kaleun!

Just say that your sound man has heard destroyer screws speeding up and turning towards your direction!

Well, after a couple of hours trying to get up to speed with SH3, it's time to return to the Classic. DOSBOX has to be one of the greatest utilities around. I was able to get a new PC and finally experience some of the games which have come out in the last few years or so without having to forfeit some of the greatest games ever made.

Yep.:arrgh!:

That's *not* his spidey-sense tingling; that's the extra-spicy burrito he had for lunch.
Might want to clear that control room, quick...

The enemy won't need to ping you at the initial point of contact. Going at flank speed is tantamount to shouting "I'm over here guys"....he's picked you up whilst in 'passive/listening' mode :arrgh!:

No, it doesn't. I still have it. You are talking about "Der Feind hat uns in der Ortung, Herr Kaleun", aren't you?
