Estimate Range with Hydrophones?

BigWalleye · 07-27-13, 09:53 PM

Sorry, but no. The KM did not put active sonar on U-boats, passive only. (They might have put active sonar on some of the very late "super-weapon" boats. I'm not certain.) So there is no way to ping for active range determination.

However, there is a passive technique for determining range. http://lnpi.net/docs/the_four_bearings_method_v2.pdf
There are in-game and DIY tools to make this task easier, and at least one excellent youtube tutorial. Google to find them.
