MarkShot What signals the difference between pinging searching and pinging detected?
Thanks.

A difficult question to answer in a precise manner, thats why experiencing it yourself is important as you will develop a feeling, but I will try to re-live my moments and answer your question as I experience it.
Searching ping
Is a constant melodinous ping, seems external or distant. Changes in pitch, loudness or rate is slow.
Contact Ping
Goes from above to all or some of the following.
A single much louder ping. Perhaps due to hitting hull.
A rapid change in pitch, loudness and rate. Perhaps due to warships rapid increase in speed and homing in on detection.
Can be heard on the hull, I'm sure I've even heard the echo.
I haven't played for a while due to modding, so I have had to explain from memory. But I can honestly say that I know when I've been detected.
