Hydrophones/Sonar Range & Pings?

ryanwigginton · 02-13-08, 03:29 AM

1) Just wondering if anyone knows off the top of their head how far the stock hydrophones on the IIB detect noise in optimal conditions? This way I can plot a circle around my sub to see what area I'm covering while submerged.

2) Also, in SH4 all subs can send a ping to detect target range without surfacing. When does this become available to the U-boots?

With a good hydrophone operator and the KTB aparatus your listening range is approximately 20 kms.

34km maximum (hardcoded) if you listen yourself.

What about sending pings to get range? I see on the hydrophone unit there's a 'Sende' label but no button.

You need sonar for that.
