if there was a new GWX RPM chart, would you use it for hydrophone hunting?

raduz · 02-08-07, 04:08 AM

just wanna know if it is worth to do...

Mooncatt · 02-08-07, 04:12 AM

yes i reckon i would be easy to work out the targets speed etc

Abd_von_Mumit · 02-08-07, 04:26 AM

Definitely yes. I'm a heavy user of hydrophones and it would add even more immersion to the game.

Tiny · 02-08-07, 05:51 AM

Right now I'm to lazy and impatient for that.

I manage to get into a good firing position everytime I encounter something so i'm happy with that.

But I'm still in the process of discovering GWX features. =]

I don't know if GWX uses different rpms than stock game. I certainly use rpm identification. I find it quick and efficient. What I haven't found is a chart for warship rpms, only merchants. Anyone knows anything?

If someone wants to make it - I'm all for it

It does. And if there was a " GWX hydrophone hunting mod", it would definitely use the stock game propeler sounds.

Yes, there is a british ASW RPM chart by Greyrider. You can find it here:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=86508

nevertheless, there are no american warships and remember, you have to replace the GWX propeler sounds by the stock ones if you want to use the chart.

ReallyDedPoet · 02-08-07, 07:50 AM

Sounds interesting.

High Voltage · 02-08-07, 01:05 PM

definitely!! been interested in trying out this method and seeing if it's worth it - especially for attacking ships in really bad weather!!!

Iron Budokan · 02-08-07, 01:57 PM

Nope, not me.

02-08-07, 03:41 PM

Mh, if someone tell me how this works, I will try to edit the GWX Propellersounds that way...

Where can I find a chart for merchants to do some test´s?

DL the sound trainer by Greyrider. you can find the chart in documentation,

Iron Budokan · 02-08-07, 04:54 PM

But did the Germans really use this method in WWII?

Iron Budokan · 02-28-07, 08:17 PM

I personally wouldn't but I still think it's a good idea....

Lt. Staumeier · 02-28-07, 06:30 AM

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes and yes!

I would. I've played a lot of Dangerous Waters/Sub Command and a lot of the solution there comes from sound alone, so being able to determine type and/or speed from sound in the hydrophone would sure make me spend more time in there. This is actually a thing that I can look-over the fact that it might not have been done this way in real life. But, it's a game, no?

So yes, do it and I'll love you long time ^^
