Jimbuna, are you saying that active pinging will disrupt the sub's profile on the surface ship's equipment, therefore making it harder to pinpoint your exact position and depth...

Or that the gramophone and pinging has no effect in the game?

In real life, I would have thought that any noise, especially radio, pinging, dropping a wrench or loading torpedoes would be a death sentence, especially close to a ticked off escort as diesel subs on silent were the proverbial hole in the water and active pinging was the only real detection threat as I understand it.

In the veteran players' opinion, how was the game programmed vs reality?
