Is your HYDROPHONE busted too?

Quagmire · 08-02-07, 12:08 AM

I noticed this after I installed v1.3 and TMaru. When I go to the hydrophone station and I man it myself I cannot hear ships (merchants that have motors running) that are right in front of me. I know they are there because I can see them clearly through the scope. However when I point the hydrophone in their direction, no sound and no green light.

What is even more strange is that when I ask the sonar operator to track the nearest target he does! He is able to track the ship that has no sound. No green light either but he happily tracks it.

This obviously does not help when scanning for ships below peri depth.

Please help. Thanks!
