WH4K, above. Yeh, wot he said!

But Valk, you saucy Piratical wench!, what to do with your information? I'm between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. On the one hand, I'm NOT running at full realism - although I never have an officer in the WO slot, I do use the AI to calculate firing solutions, so I currently run at 90% realism. So, you might think that being able to shout at the top of your lungs by active pinging the bottom while running silent trying to evade Tin Cans would be a good thing.

Nah. This is disappointing. On the one hand my nav officer SHOULD be able to give me OK depth info 90% of the time (appart from the occasional uncharted seamount), so being able to ping without penalty could be seen as a fair compensation. But it sure will present a moral dillema. To rationalise that pinging is OK, or to take the moral high ground and run into it (the high ground, that is).

By the way, Valk, maybe I'm dense and don't get the reference, but, as much as I like wombats (piratical or otherwise), the joke seems to work better with a Beaver (something about peg legs and wood?). Or is that too nauti(cal)?
