Hi Gap!

It's nice one..
What do I need to edit to get it ready to use in the game?

You should convert it to "16 bit, 48 kHz, mono" uncompressed wav format. But don't you guys think that it is a bit too metallic? I could try to reduce the "hammer hitting the hull" effect and enhance the "gravel hailstorm" factor instead

I think it gets quite close to the description of the real sound, as heard inside subs.

Thank you too, Volodya

you should put the file in the Sound folder. Let me know what do you think, and I will do the last adjustements.

Take in mind that there are two other sonar sounds used in game when you selct the hull coating as upgrade: Sonar_Coat.wav and Sonar_Coat_imp.wav. In stock game they have a shorter duration than Sonar.wav, but shortening the latter, if required, shouldn't be a big deal anyway.

Active sonar can only be heard through the hull when very close to the source. In such instances, it really does sound like gravel or even coins bouncing off the hull. It was much louder on old submarines then more modern MIP/SHT encased boats.

Hope that helps.
