Sonar Sounds & Periscope Depth

Nukesub · 01-11-15, 01:30 PM

Shipmates! Thank you for the informative answers. I would not have guessed that it was shrimp. Do they really make that much noise? I guess its just a huge swarm and I pick up that disturbance they make in the water...how interesting.

Also I am patched to the latest version and have been recently trying out the LWAMI mod and the problem still occurs. Though I think I am usually making turns for 3 kts when I try so I will give fpschazly's solution a go.

I appreciate the input

Ah yes, the Mk. 48 AdCap squirrel. Silent running, impervious to decoys (except piles of hazelnuts) and comes with it's own identification flag.

I can confirm, using the Cumulative patch to 104, that the SeaWolf has no idea what Periscope depth actually is and getting there automatically is nigh on impossible and extremely annoying to 'correct'. Needless to say... manually is the only solution I have found to that.

As for Shrimp. I advise you to google "Do shrimp make noise". I'd have linked directly, but getting membership to this site proved... tricky, thus I'm not willing to chance it. Apologies. The point though, is that shrimp really make a lot of noise accentuated by sonar.

Sounds like shrimp, surface and fish so your crew can have shrimp cocktails.

As for the periscope depth, as someone else mentioned, you have to keep your speed at 5 knots or higher, at least you do in the akula, I don't play American subs much. The realistic reason behind this is besides initial diving and surfacing subs are kept at neutral buoyancy and depth control handled by the diving planes. Just as with a planes wings, you need water flow over the planes for them to work. When you try changing depth while stopped it's done using trim tanks and isn't very controlled, resulting in depth fluctuations. Not a bug, just realism at it's best
