why no rebound sound ?

Well, not quite. You can hear a difference in the sound around you when you are standing next to a large flat building. Those secondary paths of the sound come in delayed from the direct path, but weaker. This could also happen underwater I think. But I am no sonar technician.

The situation I refer to is the most common scenario in the open ocean where it is deep and where there is pretty much nothing else to reflect the pulse. I realize that there are a few exceptions, but they are not generally common.

Hearing a double ping from within the sub.... that's mostly Hollywood.

I never said it was common. But I agree with that certainly.

I was just trying to keep it simple for ping's sake.

Fine. I'll see your ping, and raise you five pongs AND a boing.... for ALL the ping-pings.

thanx again, you two remarkable skippers.

We've learned a lot from your great explanations regarding the rebounding pulse.
So now the situation is never clearer, we could conclude that the SHCE Ping-Pong simulation and some Hollywood submarine films are both fake and inaccurate.

So keep fighting in the great SH3 and SH4 simulations which give us great immersion and technical accuracy.
