The "ping" sound would have to be understood as "udnerwater missile launch" message, just sounding like a ping ;-))))
I'm thinking of that, unfortunately we can't have only perfect solutions with current engine. And missiles pinging at start is probably only way to make AUTO notification, without need to watch the sonar screen...
Of course missile launch will be still visible on broadband sonar like in 2.01 ! Just there would be additional ping sound and with enabled AI autocrew a contact line would appear on map named Missile Transient or similar.
BTW - I returned to Oleg description of how USNI database works and... I should make this month ago... It's in fact very easy to modify USNI descriptions, and it's a shame we didn't make it for 2.01 already. It's only little more difficult to install modified file because it's big and outside of database/doctrine folders (it's in graphics). But I think I can make backup of original USNI database file and build new at mod install and later switch modded/original versions with install/uninstall scripts just like databases
So next relase of mod will probably have correct USNI descriptions
