UPDATE : skip this post, read my last one


Sorry for bringing this thing up but i'm the kind of guy that just don't accept things without understanding if there is an error or it is the normal procedure. Moreover, in case there is an error i have to try to fix it.


What was the average range for US submarine hydrophones in perfect conditions ?
Searching in the web i've read pretty high numbers, like this one :

- for a destroyer- 5 to 10 nautical miles,
- for a cargo ship- 3.5 to 7.5 nautical miles,
- for a convoy- up to 50 nautical miles.

In case of german hydrophones i've read even higher numbers.

Can someone be so kind to answer this question to me?

That said, supposing that RFB 2.0 is really struggling with sound detection being far below than reality, i've tried to isolate the files creating this weird behavior and start to analyze the situation against the same setup on stock and tmo.

Sensors_sub_US.dat
Sensors_sub_US.sim
Sensors_sub_US.zon

I've run one of the single missions (to have a similar behavior) and the first contact results was :

RFB original no contact
RFB + stock files greater than 18.500 km
RFB + TMO files greater than 15.500 km

(i've run the same test twice and the contact time was about the same)

So i guess i clearly found what files are causing this behavior (maybe just one of them or maybe all of them)

So now my request is to those modders like TorpX, would you be so kind to address me to the best way to analyze and mod those files? Since they are in binary and I don't know if there is already a tool to help modders to deal with them.


Thanks in advance
