Visibility/Sonar - Range - Keeping stealthy

kvbrock82 · 09-22-10, 03:31 AM

Hey guys,

This has been a big question mark for me ever since i started playing because it always seems a bit random to me. Im on GWX @ 100% with 16km distance if it makes any difference.

When stalking a target/convoy/whatever, what is the minimum distance that you can approach it without being spotted if on the surface? And how much does the weather and time of day play into this?

Also, how many knots is it safe to hit(and at what distance from target) in order to remain off the hydrophones of any patrolling ships?

And another one, is it possible to attack ships on the surface in crap weather or will i get spotted straight away? If so what distances are we talking about?

cheers,
brock
