Couple questions on depth

Taz1969 · 02-28-08, 07:56 AM

Just had a couple concerns about finding how deep of water one is in.If these have already been asked or kinda noobish i apolagize.

1.When pinging for depth say near a escorted convoy or any enemy ship for that matter.Can they hear a sub pinging for depth?I usually do this a few times before approching a engagement but sometimes i get a suprize and have to do it at a close distance.And if the enemy can hear a ping,how far away can they hear it from?

2.Is there any mod for a map with water depths on it.Like a regular nautical map?This would be nice so one knows what kinda water they have under them .I know u can kinda get a idea on the shade of blues on the map already but i like to have a more exact number when trying to escape from enemy attack runs bearing down on me.Most of the time im in open water so its not a real issue but at times ill run pretty close to coast lines on the way home if i have any eels left,and waters can get a little shallow at times fast.

Thnx for any replys,this forum is absolutely amazeing.I have played online games for at least 7 years now,everything from flight sims to first person shooters to World of Warcraft and have never found a forum thats so active and so full of excellent knowledge of a game.The following that this game has is awesome,a big Salute to all.keep up the great work.
