passive detection range comparison between LWAMI and SC

Castout · 10-30-08, 10:06 AM

I just installed SC again and realized that the average detection range in SC is far further out than in LWAMI 3.08.

For example Akula II traveling at 5 knots could detect with her passive towed array A US sub traveling at 2 knots at 43 km range.

has anyone ever detected a slow moving sub at that far out distance in DW with LWAMI(or stock)? I believe you can't. I never detected anythong that far out especially a slow moving sub.

I've read that a 20 km direct sound contact detection is no special thing but in DW it seems unlikely.

Hmm this got me thinking to increase the overall passive detection range in DW.
Anybody got any suggestion on how to do that? Which parameter do I need to change to increase passive sensor detection range? Of course without having to increase the noise level of the platforms.
