Enemy torpedo tracking.

steeler59 · 01-26-12, 07:31 AM

Hello.
I have tried DW now for a while. But since i am a casual gamer only and not an expert on submarine warfare I was just wondering,is there a mod where you can see enemy torpedotracks on one of your maps?
I hear the sonar crew calling "Torpedo in the water",but where are they?
And the next thing i hear is an enemy torpedo pinging faster and faster and then,BOOM, i have been sunk.

If i have seen the torpedo track on one of my ingame maps i could have had the chance to fool them with my countermeasures.
I guess in real life the sonar crew knows exactly where the enemy torps are and where they are heading.
And one more thing,if its possible to have a mod where you can see the enemy's sonobuoys.
As i have said i am a casual gamer and these things take away much of the fun with this game because of its steep learingcurve.

Set 'show truth' in the game options.

Also, you can press "Shift + Ctrl + T" to turn it on/off. Alternatively, you can also right click on the navmap (F5) and go to "layers" and then "show truth."

You can track the torpedoes by marking them with your sensors and performing TMA on the contacts.

If you're in a sub with a towed array, the intersection of the towed array contact and a bow/hull array contact will give you a pretty good location without having to do any TMA.
