Frustration with destroyers

I deleted the post that said to turn on the radio by mistake. That is what the post above referred to.

I respond to Double R as follows:

A couple of years ago, someone brought it up and was advised that the dds AI could pick up radio sounds. That is why I entered the post, which I mistakenly deleted, advising to turn off the sound.

I'm saying that you're right and destroyers can hear your radio and gramophone. I just don't have first-hand evidence to prove it. I have heard it from usually very reliable sources. I think I may set up a mission and check it out.

Maybe I'll even check it out in my TMO career and reload if I get killed doing it! My money says it's death for sure.

Will you please hurry up with that radio/music test RR. I'm on a run from Freemantle to Singapore Nov. 14th 1944 for a photog of some enemy ships. I'm about 48 NM East from Singapore right now, 2PM and sitting on the bottom in 175 ft. of water in the USS Pilot Fish ( Balao ) waiting for dark. Hiding on the bottom because two DD's ( Shiratsuyu I think ) are about 8,500/10,000 yds. patrolling the area.

Waters are very shallow anywhere in the Singapore area.
My guys aren't gonna be happy if I tell them NO MUSIC after surfacing.

I'm running stock ver. 1.5 with a bunch of mods.

Good to see your posts again RR. I've been gone ( off this site ) for about a year and a half.

Good to see you too, Elder! I had some computer problems last night but will be getting down to business today. I'm going to violate my principles, save the game and do this in-campaign, then restore at the save point no matter what the result.

So we'll be talking about October/November 1942 in the Slot. I here there were some destroyers there....... So it'll be a good test.
