NYGM and Hydrophone

[lumat83]

Hi all

I don't understand one thing : sometime, my Hydro Officer has a contact (in front of my Ubaot) at 9000m, sometime more but it's very short ? No ?

What's the range to spot a contact with the hydrophone in NYGM ?

Thank for help

The SHIII hydrophone is actually far more effective than it was in the real world especially is poor weather conditions.

Uboat.net has a article regarding underwater sound detection here
http://uboat.net/articles/id/52


If a submarine speed was 4 knots, the submarine's underwater sound detector average distance of detecting another object was:

- for a destroyer- 5 to 10 nautical miles,
- for a cargo ship- 3.5 to 7.5 nautical miles,
- for a convoy- up to 50 nautical miles.

I hope this helps.

Yes. Thanks for your response

I thought that the distance was greater before. But, effectively, it's realistic.
