Stay realistic.

Just wondering:

1. How long will an ASW helo (Hormone?)continue to buzz/dip after its mother ship has been sunk? With all of the excellent attention to detail in this game, I would expect it to have a realistic fuel limit before it crashes/disappears.

2. How many torpedoes can the same ASW helo drop without returning to a ship to re-arm? I believe in real life those models carry only two.

I my experience so far:
1) So long as it has fuel, typically though your engagement is going to last a shorter time than its endurance.

2) I've had 3 tops dropped on me by helos before they just dipped and buzzed around. Put a MOSS on a 180 bearing to my preferred heading and bugged out using the MOSS to pull the Helo off me.

Seawolf:
"Russians keep finding me with this sub but when i had the Narwall they didnt .

The Narwhal is the quietest default sub in the game. Five Db quieter than the Seawolf and quieter than all the default Russian diesel subs.

Seawolf is 10 knots faster, deeper, better weapons/electronics and has coating Narwhal does not so long distant pings are less likely to return strong off a Seawolf.

good point you noticed!!! yeah its very boring u must run away miles to evade this ultimate fuel Helo!! !! in SH5 there is a menu u can on/ff fuel -battery - etc.. that help more to be a realistic gameplay
