enemy pinging goes on forever?

orlos2 · 08-27-12, 04:39 AM

So, here's my story. I was attacking two military vessels (two Hunt classes I think). I shot 1 Falke per ship. One hitted and destroyed ships engine. Second missed because ship slowed down and went to search me. She started to ping me so I hid under first ship (that one with destroyed engines)

But now this second ship is doing circles above me and pinging constantly, just can't shoot DC because she would need to ram first ship to get to me.
Here goes question: Do ships stop pinging eventually? Im running on x16 TC and ship is doing circles all the time. I wonder if I will die from CO2 reaching its limit

Do I need to make a move or just sit there and wait?

Welcome to Subsim

I have never been in a similar situation but as long as the destroyer can ping you, she will not leave.

There is a certain amount of time (I don't remember now) that , if the destroyer doesn't have sonar contact with your Uboot , she leaves the area.

Good luck escaping from that situation.
Why on earth did you attack two destroyers at the same time , even with Falke torpedoes?

Just experimenting with passive acoustic torpedoes

I always hit them with T III and everything goes well. Just not this time

Dive deep go silent then chug along real slow.

Oh, and by the way: While they search me is there a difference in level of sound Im making between going ahead slow and setting speed manually to 1 knots?

Yes there is.

I am always setting speed manualy at 1 knot after I have activated silent running.
