Anyway, bit by bit I'm getting there. Give me a week and I might be ready to start a campaign
Thanks for taking the time to make the tutorials btw... |
Well, it depends on what you're looking for! Assuming you're doing a match where it's Americans against another country, only American submarines (submarines that can hurt you, at least) have a first frequency of 60, so it's good to set an alarm for 50. If you know you're up against a Kilo, set an alarm for 340, or 1050 if you can get enough signal strength. If you're expecting an Akula, set an alarm for 320. Akula shares its first three frequencies with several other subs, though, so you're going to want to classify with the fourth frequency and the fifth frequency in the case of an Akula-I.
There's no real clear cut method to it but you're going to want to do what makes sense given the situation and the platforms you expect to be engaging. I would always say have an alarm as 50, though. No American ships have 50 as a first frequency.
Also, anytime regarding the tutorials! I enjoy making them so no biggie
