Default These kids with their loud music!

Does playing the gramophone affect how the AI can detect you?

Naturally in real life, if a submarine was sneaking along tryin to be stealthy, the crew would probably not be jammin to some tunes from the gramophone. The distinctively unnatural patterns of music travel quite well through water.

But does the game model this?

If I am chugging along at depth and have some tunes jammin from the gramophone, will this make my sub more easily detected by the AI?

I like using the gramophone during the game for the same reasons the crew did, it helps pass the time. But will it help Tommy find me in the game?

Does this mean I can stop tip-toeing around the living room whenever I'm playing? Have I been imposing the silent running rule unneccessarily on the family?:hmm:

No, it doesn't affect the AI. I always turn it off when stalking/attacking/evading anyway; it's less annoying and it just makes it feel more real.
