I took this from here : http://jproc.ca/sari/asd_gen.html and as you see that in reality they could both ping and listen on the hidrophones for sounds and thats what i stated since the begining,when Ducumius told that they couldnt do the two things simultaneous in the game therefore i still maintain my position that this is an exploit that shouldnt have been brought to public  . |
What Ducimus and I have been talking about is how the game deals with sensors, in any case this statement :

Is valid only when they where conducting normal sweeps at low speed, when the DD increases his speed for an attack run it's impossible for them to hear anything but the echoes, and even that capacity shoud be very diminished, modern day passive sonars can't listen above 15 knots, and anything above 10 knots is washed out by the speed effects.

That's a well known fact of the sh3 engine and for a long time, anybody who pays a little attention should notice this, for example on your own sub didn't you ever wonder why your sonar operator can't listen to the sound of ships within your visual range?
We aren't discussing state secrets here, it's just a compilation of know things about sh3, and it's faults, sorry for telling you that santa doesn't exist.
