CB, are you sure about the speed factor you set at hydrophones....... ? :hmm:

It must to be in knots i think so. :hmm:

Please take a look.........

yes it's a complete mystery to me that one -- i've sat and looked at it and it makes no sense at all- ( these settings are actually the same as the u-boat settings in the sensors.cfg)
why one earth having a speed factor of half a knot doesn't utterly cripple the DD's hydrophones i have no idea-- absolutely none--speed factor is used in the stock sim.cfg entrys and it works as normal there- so why does it work differently when used like this?
yup your right about the sonar speedfactor i could do with increasing that a little might be why they are so slow to ping me--

Also as i understand it hes running active sonar at 100 meters to 1300 meters and passive from 1500 to, 6000?

Hemisent ! the sonar is at stock settings and ranges-- and the hydrophones are at stock (or less if you want) max ranges and 1000 metres minimum ranges--

when i reduced the max ranges to 4000 metres LESS than stock ranges the DD's started using their sonar again--and were STILL able to find me and attack--i don't pretend to know exactly what's going on-- i haven't got it all under control--but that's ok by me! i don't want to have it all under control--got to be some surprises for me when i get in game--!!
