ASDIC?

TheDudTorpedo · 03-03-09, 09:26 AM

Hi,

A quick question : is the "pinging" in SH3 an accurate recording of how ASDIC sounded during the real thing? I've read accounts of ASDIC being described as sounding like a rattling tin full of pebbles, but in SH3 it sounds....well....like a "ping". Am I wrong? If not, can anyone point me to a site where I could listen to what ASDIC really sounded like?

Thanks,
Dud

Apparently it really was a ping. Here's a sound file from the Merseyside Maritime Museum in Liverpool: http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/m...dio/asidic.mp3

In all accounts that I have read the Fahren descibe the sound as..."A hammer hitting the hull of the U-Boat". or "Pebbles hitting the hull" or "a steel cable/hawser being dragged along the U-Boat".

I have this asdic sound set on my mobile when receiving sms. Always freaks me out when I'm on patrol somewhere submerged
