depth charger in water

[Joe S]

Is it possible to get a report of depth charges in the water? Thanks! Joe S

Short answer, no. I think there's supposed to be but there isn't, the only way you can tell they MIGHT be coming is if you hear a DD speed up with the hydrophone.

seems crazy that they would remove this when it was already in SH3. where is the logic in that!

I'm disappointed by this, too. It really seems like this would be important information when evading depth charges is such an important part of the game. Who knows, maybe they'll add it back in the 1.3 patch. (not holding my breath though)

every subsim since Sub Battle Simulator has had this feature, there is no excuse for not having it. JOe S

Could you actually hear the splash of depth charges entering the water in Real Life?

I know it was common practice to count the number of explosions, and some accounts mention hearing the "Click" of the pistol firing just before the explosion if the charge was close to the sub.

I know that the scene of the Sonar man with the head phones clamped on his head, looking up at the skipper in quiet dread and saying "Depth charges!" or "Wasserbomben !" is a staple of every Hollywood Submarine over the last 60 years...... but is it accurate ?
