[REQ] Have the planes communicate with nearby DD's

Able72 · 04-01-10, 08:27 PM

Ok, here is my situation, I'm getting strafed by a spit, repeatedly even though I'm at periscope depth. Meanwhile a DD is searching for me and running his search pattern as if the plane isn't even there and like he has no clue where I am.

Anyway to get the plane and the DD to talk to each other? The plane obviously knows where I am, even if his shots aren't doing anything because I'm underwater.

Wrong area...

Depending on what year it is this would actually be quite realistic. There are several documented cases of early war air force and naval forces not being able to communicate directly and therefore missing opportunities to combine forces to attack. Later in the war, this was rectified somewhat although even then it was depending on the aircraft type and whether they had radio equipment that allowed them to comminicate with ships and vice versa.

At some point The devs themselves said that Aircraft (friendly and enemy) responded to all radio transmissions within range. This was supposed to be part of the U-Boat Addon for SH4 and would definitely be part of SH5. How cool would it be if this actually worked as it should?
