Decks awash?

MarkShot · 05-29-07, 01:42 PM

SH3 1.4b + GWX 1.03

I see that I can ran decks awash. However, will doing this in game terms help reduce my visibility to surface ships? I have a convoy which I have run ahead and am now doubling back on in order to set up the attack.

Thanks.

Yes, it will reduce detectability, in 3 ways:

- reduced visibility of your sub
- reduced visibility of bow-wave
- smaller radar-image...certainly under conditions like your screenshot shows

Fuel-consumption will rise significantly, though.

Works for me.

Running Decks Awash does reduce the enemy's visibility. If you run at high speeds though and you generate large wakes they will see you.

Don't they ever get these things right? Decks awash should only be done on batteries. There shouldn't be any "high speeds".

Steve it's Ubisoft we're talking about. We're lucky the game loads to start with

And it should also be possible to run surfaced on electrics...
