Depth Under the Keel

It goes without saying that you don't want to do any pinging when the enemy's around... Then again, if you're already in trouble, maybe it doesn't matter.

Mach's gut!

I have yet to be detected by running a DUK ping. Is it actually modelled into the game?

They cannot ID where you are if you only ping once. However if you do it when close enough and while they are not aware of your presence it will alert them that you are about and they will start to hunt. If you keep doing it when they are looking for you it's kind of like an aural neon sign saying come get me!

Gute Jagd!

Thanks for the great advice, and the note on signiture image size (corrected).

When things get intense, I need to know how deep to dive the boat for max reaction time to depth charges, without taking valueable seconds to assign weary crew for yellow compartment duty.

I appreciate the feedback,
