he was refering to the fact that when a sub is stationary in real life it cant hold steady at any depth so staying at periscope depth while stationary was impossible in reality.


on the subject of detection, as others have eluded to already, if you change the detection for a surfaced sub to be close to what you consider realistic (not everyone will agree on what really is a realistic detection range) then the flip side is you make it equally impssible for you to be detected when submerged so the game becomes so easy its unplayable for most peoples liking.


there are quite a few things in the game that we put up with for the sake of most things working as they should be so we put up with some things just not being able to do even though they were done in real life.


there is an unspoken rule of thumb that after you've posted a dozen complaint threads its time to learn modding and create mods to fix the things you are complaining about. im not being sarcastic here, im being honest.

people here will bend over backwards to help you learn and understand anything you need to know if you are willing to try to make the game better.

only by people fixing the things that bother them do we have all the mods you see today so join in making this game better and use your frustration as motivation to find solutions or understand the games limitations better and along the way im sure you will make a few mods of your own that we can all enjoy.
