Hydrophone Range?

treblesum81 · 09-19-09, 01:35 AM

Here's two more questions I just came up with:

1: Will the green contact light on the sonar station light up for sound contacts that I can hear but the sonar man can't? The reason I ask this is that I can't turn the volume of my computer up loud enough that I can easily hear the background noise, and hence, any differences that might be present (thanks to no door on the computer room and the fact that the wife goes to bed earlier than I), so that little green light is usually my first indication something is there...

2: What is the real effect of the "realistic sensors" option in the gameplay settings? How much does it degrade or improve the range of the sensors?

Thanks,
Greg

Yes, the green light will come on even though your crewman won't do a report. You can even use some mild TC to hurry it up.

Yes, they get better, but you can also buy better sonar as the game goe's on.
