that's interesting Red!!
so what your saying is the DD sensors are moving up and down in the water like a towed array allmost--or an elevator with a sailor in looking out thru a hole --so the sensor is not fixed in position but moves out side the hull of the DD to look for you
tell you what it is a weird system what ever it is--
my last test had me leaving port and heading into the channel after a reported convoy-- spotted a lone Clemson DD so i dived and when i thought it was safe i surfaced (didn't check as i was being impatient) i actually surfaced right along side the DD (LOL
) i dived quickly again expecting a lot of trouble- but got none- it spotted me-- opened fire missed with it's main guns then half heartedly made one DC drop before abling away-- it was less than 3000 metres away--fairly useless--
a little further north i ran into a hunter killer group- it spotted me so i dived and they (three of them) came over made a half hearted couple of dc drops then vanished off to the south-- fairly useless again--
at this point i allmost gave up the test seemed obviuos the DD's didn't work well with the settings-- but i thought "you never know" so proceeded north again and eventually caught up with the convoy and positioned for the attack--
between me and the merchants was one Corvette (which i had actually given the same sensors as the Clemson in a previuos experiment)
i was submerged so it had no warning of my presense-- and i crept in at 1/3 rd i was behind it at around 1000 metres when it started pinging me (pretty much the same situation had allready passed safely with the original lone clemson and the hunter killer group- so i wasn't worried)
Well it proceeded to anihlate me from stem to stern--after three or four DC runs i was dead---
i don't know what to think to be honest!!
if i had run the hunter killer group and lone Clemson as a seperate test i would have assumed that i needed to beef the sensors up
and if i had run the convoy attack as a seperate test i would have assumed i needed to nerf the sensors a little more--
as it was -all three events occured within the same test
:hmm:
