Hmmm :hmm: It was posted recently that in game they can't hear it so I've been useing it without a problem.

in the GWX manual i thought it said that they could so you should take care when using it :hmm:

EDIT: maybe they cant - i cant seem to find it in the manual... perhaps i have been mis-informed or just unlucky in the use of the depth report.

I coulda sworn I read somewhere that they can't hear it...

Easy way to find out...put on the visual noise meter thingamagig, sneak up to one....and ping.

I've always been under the impression that they can, and only used it during depth charge explosions.

Yes they can, just tried it last patrol, was something like 2,5 km from DD, I did the ping and he came right for me in full speed.

So yeah, using it near enemy isn't that much of an recommendion, maybe in a storm yes

Looked thru GWX manual and nothing about ping.

Also did search without any luck.

Maybe a GWX dev can help us out.

One things for sure. The DD and DE have " excellent " hearing equiptment.
