Hydrophone Hunting in SH3 v reality

Sea Hawk · 04-28-09, 04:12 PM

I've been reading the excellant SH3 Hydrophone Hunting Tutorial by raduz. I find this excellant and I will definitely be trying it out. I note that he has less interest in reality and more interest in what he can do within the limmitations of the game. Many thanks for putting this tutorial together.

My question is how much of this was a real sub commander able to do?

Why can I hear ships at 34km when the sonar man can only hear at 20km. Did U-boat commanders have better ears than sonarmen? is this an unreal glitch in the game?

How accurate in real life was the sonarmans ability to gauge the range to target as long, medium and short range?
