Hydrophone question

Krumski · 01-02-14, 01:35 PM

Happy new year!

After several days of trying the different versions of SH, I finally started playing the one I like the most. I'm still trying to hit something smaller than an island tho

Sorry if my question is stupid but how does the hydrophone work? At the moment I can see a target through my periscope, range ~4km but I can't hear that ship. The sub is not moving and at periscope death.

Thanks in advance!

Your sonar man will tell you from his reports about the nearest sound etc. from his icon on the lower left hand side of the screen.

If you want to listen "manually" hit "H" key or click into sonar room from where the captain bunk is and click on the wheel to spin it around, when the ship comes into range you will hear the chugging of the propeller and the notepad will tell you the location of the ship.

Hope this helps
