{req} Click Bang

Thanks steve. So no JSGME? Just put it in TMo sound files? I found them, just place it there?

Is it scaled based on range? It's my understanding that they listened for the click before the detonation to tell how close the depth charge was. IIRC, the click was the exploder firing and the WHAM was the shock wave. Much like the old adage 'you never hear the shell that gets you', if you could hear the click, the DC was probably far enough away you'd be okay.

I don't think so. If you're on land you can feel an explosion before you hear it, because sound travels faster through the ground than it does the air. Likewise water vs air.

Underwater the shockwave is just extreme sound, and the click and explosion should travel at the same speed. The softer sound will dissapate faster, so the click will not be heard at any great distance. I think if you don't hear the click you know you are in no danger. If you hear the click then the thing is reeeeeaaal close!

Yep. You might want to rename the original first, in case you don't like it you can dump the new one and change the original back.

Or just listen to it with Sound Recorder first.

I listen for the splashes, I wish the sonar guy would say something like "can in the water" or something. Then I could stay out of the sonar station as a real captain would.

The click bangs would be nice too.

I never listen to the hydrophones. When I hear the propellors roaring overhead I'm already at flank speed, turning and diving.

Then try that file and see what you think.
