Destroyers Discussion (getting rid of pin point drops)

[CB..]

Cheers red
will add the heightfactor to the file and see how i go on--
here's a thought -- i wonder if it was easyier to tell the depth of a u-boat if it was deep than if it was shallow--?
as the length of time it would take the echoe to return from depth would be longer --surely it was easyier to gauge the difference between say 100 metres and 120 metres- than it was to guage the difference between 25 metres and 50?
as the ping would come back at pretty much the same time-- this would make the heightfactor quite an interesting tactical change? i dunno

perhaps it might actually work a lot better if the lose time for the active and hydrophones was 1 second--forcing the DD's to constantly re-aquire the contact-

might make them behave in an interesting fashion?
i'm wondering if with the lose time set at 20 seconds they retain contact with you even tho you are behind them and they are at 25 knots simply because the lose time dictates that they cannot lose contact untill the 20 seconds are up?
20 seconds isn't very long - but it is enough time for the DD to slow down after a dc run and get below the max speed for sensors? perhaps meaning they never lose contact at all?
