Hydrophone Depth

[Dignan]

I'm running the "no hyrdophones on surface" mod (included in one of my other mods. IRAI I think). It works, but not I noticed that my sonarman can't hear anything when I'm at periscope depth. Whether it's realistic or not, I would prefer to be able to hear sound contacts at periscope depth.

Can anyone tell me what file I need to edit to change the effective depth of the hydrophone?

Go at 15-16 metters depth... this way you can use the attack scope and the hydro in the same time

Ok. I may try to edit the file myself if possible. I really would like to have hydro capability at the default periscope depth. Thanks.

Did the Attack Periscope really extend 15m high ? Always seemed to high thought it was more like 12-13M

The mod "U-boot Historical Specifaction 1.4" set most boat settings to historical values.

This mod is within MO

If I want to use UHS with IRAI, FX Update, BRF and NewUI/TDC where should I put it in the mod lineup? First, last, middle somewhere?

Normaly I'm going to 25 to 30m. Sonarrange is quite ok there, but my sonarguy should get a hearing aid.
I'm running TDW's SH5.exe patch 0.2 but he reports no contacts when I still can hear the traget sitting at the hydrophone personaly.
Does someone have a solution for this behaviour?

Should be:-
UHS
UI by TDW
FX by TDW
FX with BFR full by TDW
FX with UHS by TDW
IRAI by TDW
Depth fix by TDW - would go here if you wanted to use it

Sorry I have noy used the correct name

Edit: fixed order

I noticed the same behavior, which I find totally unrealistic IMO. At 12 meters depth the hydrophone should work without any problem, as historically documented. And I don't think the best solution is "tweak the periscope to extend 16 meters, only to have both hydrophone and peri working," in a community where about every second post is about "we want more realism."

Thanks for the list Trevally. I could be mistaken but I think the order is now to have NewUI before FX Update. Either way, you've told me that UHS goes before BOTH of them so that's what I wanted to know. Thanks.

I find it irritating that you cant hear anything on periscope depth. This way i either have to go to 30 meters to listen , or go to periscope depth and see if i can spot the convoy. It should be both so i can work more effectivly.

Yes you are correct sorry - FX is after UI


Should be:-
UHS
UI by TDW
FX by TDW
FX with BFR full by TDW
FX with UHS by TDW
IRAI by TDW
Depth fix by TDW
