Your hydrophone crewman will report it, but you won't hear a thing. For instance, RSRDC has all its ship routes with multiple waypoints (hundreds of waypoints over stock), Lurker has each waypoint changing the targets speed (sounded good at the time) to confuse the enemy. However, if the targets speed drops just below half the Max rated speed.....you can't hear it.

I'm suspecting RFB fooled around with those routes as well.



Well, you won't hear your own engines. The sensor .sim file for the hydrophone doesn't allow for you to hear to the rear of the sub. It's blocked out by design.

Follow what TorpX has written regarding changing the RFB_2.0_Patch_23April2010 file. If that's the last mod in your activation list.......that's the files you need to change.
So are you saying I would be able to hear other ships while using the hydrophones on the surface? Just not my own engines? Because I certainly hear my own engines when I'm submerged and train the dial to 180.
