Hitman-"because SH3 units will only use one sensor at a time, if an escort starts pinging that's because he already detected you by other means -visual, by spotting your periscope, passive listening, etc.- so if you hear him pinging at you then you have already been detected and if you stay at peri depth he will ram you even if he can't locate you by active sonar, and once close enough he will be able to hear you anyway."
When I was detected, I got greedy and and gave the ahead 2/3rds order. Once I was pinged it was back to 1/3 and was never detected again. Admittedly I was super close and careless with the destroyer that pinged me. I should have never gotten that close and deffinatly should not have tryed to zip past him at ahead 2/3rds! But He lost me about as soon as he found me.
Lanzfeld- "Yes,
Historically correct but the real question, and I am VERY excited about his "research",
is this modelled in the game??????
I really want to test this myself as I creep around at P.D. but always dive when I think they detect me."
Dont panic! By diving you are just revealing your location! Stay a shallow course and steer gently in the nearest exit direction. THey circle and many times it looks as if they have spotted you but turn at the last minute and start depth charging the area again. THis is them just trying to guess where your at because they dont know.
Well I use GWX 3.0 and I can tell you that it is in fact moddelled well.
