i'm not using any mods. trying to learn the stock game first.
the weird thing is that i didn't hear any thing being dropped in the water, and my sonarman didn't say a thing. i just suddenly died... :hmm: i was looking at the map and watching those red lines the whole time (they are enemy sound sources right?) do i need to be next to the sonarman to hear him speak?
i was sailing on the surface, it was night when i ran into the DD. after the game brought me out of time compression because of spotting the DD, there was still time to dive and remain unnoticed right? i was still out of the small cone of the DD at that time. i assume the small cone is its sonar range. i think i was just in the large cone of the DD on the map. not sure what the large cone represents. visual range?
i had a feeling going to scapa flow was a mistake. luckily i saved the game beforehand
my pc is an athlon xp 1800, 1.5 gb ram. i will try turning down the particle setting. it's weird that the command room is choppy though. it wasn't that choppy in naval academy.
