Launch Transients and Seeing Weapons

Eagle1_Division · 01-05-18, 01:35 PM

So, I'm playing along in an encounter, and I see a torpedo suddenly appear on the map, but don't hear an accompanying, "launch transient on the bearing of..." message.

Did my sonar actually detect that launch transient, then, or am I being fed knowledge (someone just let a fish off) that I shouldn't actually know?

Little things like this are kind of annoying in how they break immersion and give me cheating knowledge. I know where the sound of an enemy torp is coming from - same for launch transients, but how do I know exactly where they are? At least you could argue my crew is doing some really fast TMA on the torpedoes, but not the launch transients.
