Does TMO sometimes have them make attack runs without you hearing the sound of the DCs being launched? I am in a Salmon class boat and I have been going down to 250' (the red line) I guess I could/should be exceeding test depth by what - I think its like 25% or so? Urge

Yep--TMO has pretty beefy sensors

. I agree with what others have said--it is not invincible--but it is very dangerous to get that close to escorts in TMO. Have you tried RFB? It's possible that it will fit your playing style better...
As far as indications of when DC's are dropped--I actually don't have any sound for that at all. I know when they're dropped by watching my crew. They'll shift their position (kind of a butt-clench thing :hmm: ) and I've found that it's the most reliable warning I have for dc's being dropped.
You can go deeper in your Salmon. Not sure how much deeper in TMO though as I haven't used it for a while. Knowing Ducimus though, I'd expect you could go to 350' at least.
The next version of RFB will include new sub characteristics including an excellent new damage model Observer has created. Very Good Stuff!
Anyway--just thought I'd tag this on to what Webster said. Hope it helps!
