But before thinking the behaviour you are experiencing is a bug, consider the possibilty it is in fact a feature!
I can give you two possibe reasons for why your active dipping sonar is not acquiring an enemy sub at 1000 meters.
First:
An second, as you already have read:
If you put in the equation the two reasons above and add in the changes LWAMI put in general in the acoustical model for the game, chances are that what you are experiencing is in fact exactly correct. Or maybe not, go figure  |
Well - I used subguru's dipping sonar doctrine file and it's working like a charm now. There's no actual report from the chopper but the sub shows up as a green symbol, and if you click on it it gives the source of the info as link [helo ID] often you'll get a positive ID from the chopper even if you haven't got one from narrowband etc - and it seems like the MAD is modelled too. My chopper flew over at 200 or so feet and instantly the sub he was searching for was ID'd. Happy days - It makes a huge difference.
Also the towed arrays on the 688i are definitely different, despite the platform info saying they're not. The Starboard array washes out at about 14 kts and the Port at about 18, so it seems that it's just the in-game info that's behind the times, which I can live with
