THe 360 degree rotating hydrophone is mounted on the deck, not the hull, so you need to dive to get it in the water. Motor a likely area, dive to 25m, stop all engines, sweep...sweep... rinse and repeat.

I usually go to 40m. Anyone know if thats too deep?

30 meters for me and also you need to mod the hydro for better effectivness .. stock hydros suck

If you are using REM MOD I think max detection range is 25 meters or deeper.
We decided this depth because there are area's you must patrol where you can not go much deeper.

Originally, I wanted Max Detection Range at depth of 50+ meters.

Wouldn't detection be adversely affected by the thermal layer at that depth?
Are thermal layers modelled in SH5?
