Periscope sighted!

kakemann · 03-22-11, 03:34 PM

Just had a strange happening.

I encountered a large convoy with several destroyers and troop transports.

I got a message from the radio guy that he intercepted a message that a periscope was sighted.

The convoy didn'r react to their own radio message but continued with the same course.
The destroyers did not follow me.

i like the idea of the warning only for feeling more immersed into it but it troubles me that at the same time it feels more real it also feels too unreal for the ship to have no reaction to a report like that.

might i suggest you replace "periscope sighted" with a warning of "submarine reported in area" or something that it makes more sense that the ship has no reason to react as soon as it gets the report? this would IMO give the same feeling without making it strange no reaction is taken

i am afraid you must to ask tdw for that... this is from his New ui... when a ship or an DD is spoting you and they react (i mean AI reaction) you will hear an wistle and horn... for that you need FIX v15

Yeah. I've noticed this too. Sort of bothersome but it isn't the worst bug.

Your tutorials are very good Sto.

But I feel like I'm missing something about using the radio correctly. Looks like i'll be using the search feature here in a minute.

Also, should one change the radio settings depending on weather?
For instance, what if visual range is below 8km?

You must to install radio mods to have radio stations... by default you have only the radio station

The radio it is not working when you are submerged

For instance, what if visual range is below 8km?
