Thats me, i did that, and its intentional. Go down to 160-165 feet. |
Thanks for the answer. It's a really cool feature because pilots would be able to see the sub at some shallow depths. |
That particular modification does have its limitations, or rather, one bad side effect. From a certain distance, say 5,000 meters or so, they can't see you. In rough weather, they wont see you, however, if they fly over you within a certain range, they WILL see you, period, even when deep. The only cavet being, they have to get close and have clear/calm weather to do that.
It makes an intresting mechanic, because they could vector in other ASW to your location. At deep depth, they can't do anything to you, but they can call in other units. Ive toned down the number of aircraft in general, because they were just too many. That said, with SD radar, planes were a total joke, and a total non factor in play except an annoyance. Now they're a real threat. Even if they can't bomb you they can still advertise your presense. |
Had this happen to me last night in an insertion mission. This is an awsome addition Ducimus, really adds to the experience
