Maybe they'll read comments like that before they start the next big subsim, and decide it's not even worth it.

Wise words Steve.

Well, I'll just chalk it off as a live with thing. Kind of like the "." camera bug.
Ok so if we must live with retarded sonarmen, Im thinking relay the nessesary qualifications to good seamen and spend extra neede watch quals to po's.

If you use free cam inside the u-boat, go to sonar station and try move cam inside the sonarmans head, you'll see that he's actually an 4$$h0le!

Sorry, couldn't help it...

is it possible to change the detection values for sub sonar
without changing them for AI?

At least, at the beginning of a new career, the crew is composed of idiots. I don't know if this realism was intended or not

That's a good question. We can make several text edits to alter values like StormConditions and deck gun ammo. But perhaps the sound recognition we can hear, is a different ball game to what the SO can hear/understand/translate.

I still like the onion idea

what exactly do you want to change? remember, the hydrophone works for you at 34 km max. The SO can hear the ships closer then 20km. if you wish to reduce your hydrophone detection area, then just tweak the amb_Hydrophone.wav (in SH3/data/sound). open it in some sound recorder and raise the volume to make the ambiance sound much louder. the ambiance sound should be loud enough to mask the propeller sounds if the contact is farther then 20 km. I suppose you will need to do some tests in order to find such a level. then you should be able to hear exactly what your SO hears, and no more.

And anyway if these guys were too good, we would miss the pleasure of sticking our own ears at the station. I just love it when after a few boring days of empty ocean I am the first to pick up the far away sound of a merchant prop...
