We have discovered the same thing as your Operations Officer, Lieutenant Michael Wood.


We should request a temporary "refit" to come in the coming days that can fix our "bad" hydrophone
In this particular case, I should stipulate that we need all of the details possible. What submarine are you on, and if possible, what ship(s) have you IDd as problematic. I have it thus far down to several of the "Hansa" based ships, plus another that I cannot remember the name of, since I have my notes on the other computer. Also, this is a player-centric issue. Your sonarman will give you at least an initial sonar contact report. You will see the lines on the NavMap, but the props on the ship do not move, and if you fly over to the ship (only close encounters within about 0-2.5nm count), you will not hear an engine sound. If sitting at the sonar station yourself, and you spin the head toward the ship, you will not hear it, and you will not "see" the green "contact" light lit. This is different from the "quiet" contacts of previous fame, where the light would light, but you couldn't hear them (loudly). Our suspicion (s7rikeback and myself) is that the links to the prop and audio were broken somehow - if they ever existed...

Normally speaking, we would need the mission orders, but in this case, we were able to do an internal search in the files, and found all occurrences of the offending string (there were like seven of them!)... Plans for a "beta" patch are fading fast (again) with other recent discoveries needing fixing, but we're working on it, and there should NOT be anymore of those immersion breakers... there are probably others yet to be found, but at least no "Location Name In Game", giving it away that this is a game!

Thanks fellers, the team appreciates that.
