Merchants have SONAR???? Which ones? I'll sink them first, ba$tards.

Actually don't they just have Hydrophones, basically just listening for you instead of using sonar to actively ping you.

Thanks. I stand corrected. I never considered the difference between the two, although it is obvious.

They have passive sonar, yes. I' m not sure which ones have it - I think it's later merchants that have it.

Got it, Thanks

Glad to see your having fun I'm goin' down.

I thought it was well known that merchants in TMO went to the chuck norris school of gunnery.

They call him, sensei.

Maybe he will comment?

Sure. I wanted them dangerous, starting at around 2000 meters. Ranges don't scale very well to reality in game because you can pretty much decimate a ship at 4,000 meters with little effort. Hell, I've sunken ships at 6,000 meters or greater with a deck gun. (i can be persistant bastard)

Another issue is AA gunnery range as defined in the sim.cfg file. It is a universal figure that effects all guns in the game. To include your AA guns, and the AI's, It's the max range that they will open fire at (or try to) . Limit that and you limit alot for both you, and the AI.

You also see nothing wrong with post where a person attack ww2 heroes, i understand it, also the report function works random. Wonder why . This is why i like forums, you find something new everyday. Just wonder how low can people go

Maybe its a public pm with hidden message . Talking and admire yourself is a popular thing on the web , even when the material don`t belong to you directly

Are you always a douche bag? Did your dog get run over this morning? Jeeze dude, Relax a bit, and try, please try, to quit
