Hydrophone acting weird

Targor Avelany · 06-13-11, 02:15 PM

Not sure where else to put this, so decided place it here. Also, since I'm not exactly sure which mod could be causing it or if it is how its suppose to be, not going to make a post in any of the mod-threads.

The mod-layout I'll list later, though it is pretty close to the last one I posted in the List your mods thread.

The hydrophone, however, is acting a bit strange: sometimes it does not pick up the sound of any ships at all (wheter it is a single ship or a convoy of 20) until the contact within 10km radius (and my watchman has a perfect visual on the contact already for like 15minutes) or I manage to plot a perfect four-bearing plot with margin of error to 5-7km (which is very good)

What worries me is this close-range-no-sound... I just don't see how would it really happen, unless the contact at my 180 and I'm going and some speed...

which I don't, cause I generally "All Stop", battle stations and silent running and dive to the anywhere between 20-32m depth (depends on depth under keel).

What Type Sonar Equipment are you using?

GHG is located on the ship side near forward dive planes. It works while surface but in rough sea it does not work well while surfaced.
KDB requires you to be submerged for it to function.
Balkon Gerat works while surfaced.

There is a MOD that adds realism to these equipment functionality. The MOD reduces Hydrophone effectiveness while surfaced to account for ambient surface noise and waves. Using this MOD requires that you dive to preiscope depth or deeper in order for Sonarman to detect targets at longer ranges.

Thank you for the reply, Beast.

Since it is the first campaign, it is GHG and, as I mentioned, it is always submerged. I generally don't even try to listen to the hydro while surfaced, as it works only with ghg and very partial.

Have you tried the SH5.exe patch by TDW?

[TEC] SH5.exe patches to fix bugs and add functionality
How to patch your sh5.exe file for v0.0.1 (fixes broken hydrophone station):

You no longer need to hex edit it. At the bottom of the 1st post in the thread I linked to above. TDW has made a auto patcher to download.

Hope this helps.
