Can ASW warships see through land?

prowler3 · 01-16-09, 09:31 PM

If I surface with a landmass between me and a destroyer, or other ASW ship...will they still be able to visually spot me?

I ask because, right now, I'm in a bad position...need to recharge but have a destroyer skirting around a spit of land. I'm hoping the land would mask my visual presence while I surface and recharge?

he he... not only can they see you through land masses, buildings and any other solid objects, but they can hear you on their hydrophones and use their sonar thru the same objects. You of course can do the same and track where they are. Silliest part is if they hear you they will come rushing along the shortest vector to reach you and end up beaching themselves or getting locked in stupid foward/reverse manourvre they find difficult to get out of.

Insert Trix ceral joke here

SH3 AI is painfully oblivious, but unless you constantly raid harbours, you won't notice Dinsdale.

Ah...hrmmm...ummm...I'm parked just inside of the ship blockade on the 2nd northeast entrance to Scapa. The Hood and (reportedly) the Nelson are in there...and I intend to sink them. I know, I know...but I got a bit bored and decided to try it. It's September 28th. 1939...ought to be a piece of cake (where have I heard THAT before?) :p I doubt I'll EVER make it to 1941! :p
