Sonar/Radar Hull Coatings - any effect?
 

I'm curious, if it has any effect for the subs - in the game is only said, that the germans hoped, this will help again sonars.
So, what are your experiences?
Have anybody tested with and without of hull coatings?

From my experience it has little effect...BUt that is better than none at all...Just my opinion...CH

I follow CH on this one . I am not sure neither . Ask the RN and the USN ... :hmm: :-j

Cheers .

I installed the coating, and shortly afterword I escaped from a destroyer in 130 meters of water rather easily. Prior to this I usually had to work at it for hours and suffer some damage, (sometimes 100%).

Sonar Hull:
Albreich - 1941. Okt. - 1000 renown
Albreich Improved - 1944. Febr. - 2000

Radar Hull
Tarnmatte - 1944. Jan. - 1500

I did see some difference with Albertich. My best guess would be that it reduces the chance of a DD finding you by ~15%-30%.
