Default Platform Mins & Max

Hi,

im looking for an Excel sheet or something simular, wich displays the platforms Mins & Max (max. depths for subs, detection Range for various sensors, max. Speed, max. height, weapon range, etc).

I ve found soime of the Infos in the manual and others in the "Blue Book". But they are completly lacking information on the new platforms in DW.

The specific numbers from the blue book may be outdated, where they relate to a platforms performance.

Check the manual appendixes for most of the information. I believe there is a weapons range table somewhere at subguru.com.

I don't think I've missed anything then; "detection ranges"... well... they vary. Though you could use a database editor, and check the sensors database, and see what the maximum detection range for the sensor is.

so i tried to get the max detection ranges from the database... but i couldnt find them. I m using DWEdit-1-1-22-1 to browse the Database.

As a hardernd Akula skipper i can tell you the basics of my boat.

Max depth 570 meters (taken her down to 600 before she crushed)
Max speed well 35 knots straight run but have taken her past 70


Note dont run more than 3 knots with any mast extended this is what i do at 5 knots they break just gives you a little leway.

5? I can do 10 and I make 8 because at 9, I hear some Russian that goes like "cavitasei". I hear **** after raising my "elektromagnetik pilengaterer" at 8 knots, but I never had it break on me.

Sorry for crappy transliteration.

Yes you can run up to 8 or 9 knots but do you realy want to chance leaving a heavy wake at the rear? or loosing a mast? or more so being heard?

Fortunate for all the sub skippers, masts who leave a detectable wake are only modelled in reality ... not in the game.

The detection ranges are determined by a complex acoustic model that runs the Passive Sound Level though environmentally based processing and checks that against the sensitivity of the individual sensor across the range of frequencies to which the sensor is receptive...

In other words, the actual in-game detection ranges are highly variable for any given sensor across conditions and for any given condition across sensors.

I hope to create a "standard method" for evaluating sensor performance using something like three disparate conditions when the variable tables are created for referencing LWAMI.
