Mods to fix sonar and allow me to sit on the seafloor without taking damage?

CjStaal · 07-27-15, 07:28 PM

Even in GWX sonar is pretty unrealistic. Is there any mod that will make it more realistic and also allow me to bottom out on to the sea floor to make me indistinguishable to the sonar? Also, how can I tell how far away I am from the sea floor? I can't figure it out for the life of me. Also, how can I have a view of my sub underwater? The freeview just puts my camera at the surface.

You can discover depth under keel due left click to navigator icon and choose "Reports". If you ask how can navigator discover this - he use the sonar and he notes the arrival time of the echo.

I don't have sonar yet.

The navigator uses a depth sounder for this, you do not need to have sonar equipped. If you click on reports, you should see a depth under keel icon, or picture-wise, the hull of a boat with a line underneath. H.sie has some mods out that will alter the sonar to be more realistic. As for not taking damage when bottoming out, I have yet to find a mod for that.

My sonarman does not give me that option.

It's not the sonar man you want, its the navigator.

Click on the Navigator icon. Then click on the reports icon above him. Then click on the far right icon with the submarine for the depth-finder.

In this case: Navigator officer reports depth under keel is 15 meters.
