Whales

Taz1969 · 01-08-12, 12:54 PM

While floating around at 90m today i was wondering if there are any whale or dolphine sounds in SH3? I just returned to playing after a year or so leave and thought i had read before that it is possible to hear whales in the deeps.Is this true or am i listening for nothing?

Thanx for any replys

With GWX you can hear / see them

The sounds are like your stomach growling after having Mexican food and too many beers.

If you listen carefully on the hydrophone yourself you may be lucky and hear a shrimp fart

And if Jimbuna has had a curry recently, you may hear the noise up to 200 miles away.

I saw my first dolphin while putting into the supply ship just north of Gibraltar, just a couple of days ago. Pretty cool!

Yes, there are some scripted into Cadiz and Vigo harbour.

I try to listen to the hydro myself as much as i can.There has been a few times that i hear ships that my sonar guy has not told me about

.I will try to get to them 2 spots and see if i can hear something,maybe i will find that shrimp

If you put on a pair of headphones you should find that you can hear better than your hydrophone guy.

Taz1969 · 01-09-12, 08:50 PM

roger that ,i think he is deaf half the time

That's just the way the game is on default parameters I'm afraid.

Could be wrong, but I think part of the problem is that they don't report a sonar contact until they can identify whether it's a warship or merchant. Often times it seem like they will report "No Contact" even though you may hear a thundering herd when using the hydrophone manually. I ran into this recently while trying to use updates from the operator to track an oncoming convoy that was making a course change.

Either way it's a good idea to do a quick 360 sweep yourself before trusting your sonar man. Also 2nd the recommendation for using headphones - just remember to turn the volume back down before issuing orders!
