although i try to play sh3 regular i wanted to know if you "ping" a destroyer would this give away your position? the only reason i ask is that i was approaching a convoy with scope down and wanted to keep an eye on this destroyer that was heading in my general direction at the time it was like 5000m away and hadnt seen me coz it was only doing 11knts, i pinged him and he didnt change course or speed but it did reach my location and depth charged me he never pinged me once
