Depth of contact?

swampy · 12-19-12, 09:56 PM

Hi, I can place contacts reasonably well on the navmap with soundbouys and hydrophone. But how do I determine the depth of a sub?

Thx

Why would you need it? Even in the real world they have a hard time determining the depth of a sub.

Ok, I thought it would make it easier for torpedos to hit

The torpedo modeling in DW is so simple it won't really help that much. IRL it could help you set your bounds on the torpedo though, but then again it's nearly impossible to tell the depth of a contact other than "deep" or "shallow."
