Hi,

I picked up DW just 2 weeks ago and loving it! Cant believe I missed out on it 10 years ago!

Anyway I am playing a user-made scenario called Sicilian Wedding where my sub as OPFOR has to pass undetected through an area in the Med.

All goes well when I stay under the layer at the layer boundary - I don't hear any pings, and when I am above the layer I do hear them.
So I stay under, makes sense.
But then I start hearing them under the layer as well. The pinging ship always detects me this way.

Does this mean I am too close to it? Should I make more effort of locating the pinger and then avoid it better? And how far should I stay clear of it so it cannot ping me under the layer?
