Map question et al...

PapaG39 · 08-05-07, 03:58 PM

1) Is there a-way to bring up a map that will show the diffferent depths of an area?

2) Is there a-way to make the Hydrophone sweep needle go slower?

I know that you can ping the depth under the keel, but I'm wondering about the underwater area map itself.

The maps do show you depth, by colour. Dark blue is deep (deeper than you can go) and pale blue/green/yellowish colours are progressively more shallow. I pinged the ocean floor in a few different areas to get a feel for how deep each colour is - maybe you could do that. Obviously that method is prone to mistakes so if you want to, just ping! I've not noticed warships attacking me for pinging, and I read on here that it has no effect on them, so if you want to, just go ahead and ping. I prefer not to ping until after I've been spotted, for the sake of realism, but that's just me.

In GWX on the F5-map, the "mark"-cursor has a legenda on it, when not in help-modus.
It tells you the depth somewhat.
