Jettison Debris

spurlash · 03-01-13, 12:02 PM

Hi Guy's, have we a mod for the jettisoning of debris from hunted U boats to try and fool the enemy hunters ?, I think this would be cool, and very useful as a last resort.
Any views or comments?

Jimbuna · 03-01-13, 01:12 PM

None that I'm aware of.

I think it's a great idea,especially if it throws them off,lol.
However,if it's possible to do is another matter.
There again,I wouldn't put anything beyond the talent on this forum,they are brilliant people.

Later in the war u-boats are equipped with BOLD, a bubble-emitting canister designed to fool SONAR.

historically Uboats would occasionally jettison debris and go to make DDs think they where dead.

I think this is a brilliant idea. Didn't one of the earlier Sub Sims have this?

It was for sure in Silent Service II.

Anyway , that would be a very nice addition to SH3, under the condition that it clould be effective , not eye candy only.

Yes it was in Silent Service 2. I totally agree that it should be an effective ruse not eye candy

It was also in Silent Hunter 1. The good news there was that it could work, but didn't always.

Ah Silent hunter 1. Such a long time ago and so many happy memories. It's good that the debris trick didn't always work.

Even if it is eye candy.....that'd be pretty awesome.

If it worked....well that would be even more awesome.

I remember this feature in SH1 or Silent Service around the 90s'. It is not implemented in SH3. I guess it is what one can call progress...

Wasn't so good when I died!

It reminds me of an episode of star trek with a cloaked Romulan ship being hunted by the Enterprise.

Yep. That episode was ripped directly from the movie The Enemy Below. Highly recommended.
