Depends on layer strength and distance.

That applies only for torpedoes right? Because for the subs i notice signal strength changes when a Seawolf makes i.e. 3 knots, 8 knots or 15 knots. I am using the stock game

Is it really dependant on the layer ?
Goldorak , yes you are right . . . do you remember how deep it is ?

Oh my, i really don't remember since i seldom use the uuv.

@Tusiplex Yes, the TIW message does indeed depend on layer and TIW signal strength. If none of your sensors have a acoustic signature on the torpedo (that is, if they haven't detected the torpedo), you will not get a TIW message until you do have a acoustic track on the torpedo (as it should be). I've crossed layers and gotten TIW message for torpedoes that are quite close and fired some time ago.

In the stock game, there is no sound vs. speed for torpedoes, nukes get a +10PSL at top speed, and diesels get a +5PSL.
