688i's NB, that bad?

[Ori_b]

No use
Installed the game again, with the same training mission (conditions mentioned above), same result.
Only the 688i wont show peaks in NB above 6nm (while at the same time frequency lines can be seen clearly in the NB freq display without any problems in 10+nm). Kilo\Akula already show BB peaks at this higher range.
Not too happy about this, its making the NB search much more tedious.


BTW
I dont remember it from the demo (uninstalled it already), but does the DEMON display in Kilo (and Akula) only work with BB spherical trackers and not with BB conformal ones?
It doesnt say anything like that in the manual.

And they still didnt fix the manual error saying that only the DEMON lines after the first1 to the left represent blads No.

Possible CZ here.????

That's because it's BroadBand. It would be the same thing if your 688 showed a contact in the waterfall display.

What i mean is that from what i know NB frequency sounds have greater range than BB. Buts for some reason i see peaks and lines in the BB but do not see peaks (only lines) in NB. My logic says this should be the opposite.
Are the sensors of the Kilo and Akula much better than the 688i?

LuftWolf, if you want i can send you my training scenario.

[Ori_b]

Or not...

Ok, I give up on this NB subject (I'll get use to it although something is wrong here),

Still, can any1 answer my question about the Kilo DEMON and BB trackers i've asked 4 posts above this one?

Thanks,

Dont forget though the 688i is the loudest submarine in the entire game its easily detected by akula's kilo's and seawolfs, the NB sonar system is a bit rubbish ive used it myself and its pretty blind i pick up more in my akula than anything else realy.

So far, based on my limited xp i agree with you. seems like after 2 months of kilo demo i prefer the russian subs.

Sorry for being so annoying, can you answer my question about the DEMON-BB trackers, its really bothering me.

I think you are comparing apples and oranges... I think just play the game and have fun. DW has been pretty well tested up to this point.

In stock 1.03 it's ok, with LWAMI 3.02 all the major bugs and inconsistencies are gone, except for one or two dealing with Helos and Aircraft, some of which is my fault for expanding capability without correcting pre-existing errors first, thus sort of picking a scab, but it works well enough that I don't know of anyone who stopped using it because of errors. And if anyone has I'd like to know...

Cheers,

PS And yes NB searches in western platforms are a bit tedious, but the compensation is better overall sensor performance. Personally, I do prefer the Akula sonar interface, especially in battle. Although in low-density contact situations, the western waterfall is quite useful.
