hearing the eco ping in SH3+GWX3?

Sag75 · 10-20-09, 12:53 AM

Hi to all, I'm now playing definitely with GWX3.0 because I finished the campaign in GWX2.1

Now, in GWX3.0 the ping sound is different, somewhat shorter than in GWX2.1

This night a DD was pinging me, and I'm very sure I was able to hear an higher tonality (so not higher in volume) ping sound just following the normal ping sound tone.. a sort of: <piiingINGg..>

So what was it?? the returning ping? an eco ping from sea floor (I was 40meters from it)??

thanks..!

I always thought I was hearing the echo ringing back to the sub... but thats just my opinion.

yes, me too. I was thinking it was the echo. But why I don't hear it when a DD is tracking me by repeated pinging?

So, any other comments on that by SH3 experts ?

I've never even noticed it. Sorry.

You could always go into the sound folders of both GWX installations and check out/compare the echelot, sonar, sonar_coat and sonar_coat_imp files.
