Sir the enemy are pinging us!

I get this message but I hear no pinging (beep-the-beep

) Is there supposed to be actual ping noise from the destroyers?

Discused some times in the past, if i dont remember bad, the range at wich the ping sound is reproduced by the computer is set in a diferent file.... you can set at wich range you want to hear... in example, the ships propellers, for cargo and DDs, same with the pinging sound, then yo have the DDs pinging and your AI crew can hear it, but no sound reproduced by the computer.

If i dont remember bad, Timetraveller Utility (Mini Tweaker) can be used to adjust this range. I made it for ship's propellers.

I hear them all the time. They sound like the very expensive machine in the hospital that goes *PING*......

Or similar to the ejecting clip of the M1 Garand (yes the M1 Garand uses clips).

Yeah.. but how can you think that sounds like an active sonar ping? (Sry not baiting or arguing on purpose... but that is like saying a the M1s report sounds the same as a howitzer)

RLOL.....:rotfl:

If you can pull the tirgger fast enough and load the M1 fast enough I guess you could get the repeated ping one usually hears from a destroyer. But the ping does sound similar (key word here) to the ejecting clip of an M1.......I've never been on a sub while being hunted by an allied destroyer pinging me so the M1 was the closest familiar sound I could tie it to.

And while I'm on the subject.......Sneaky tanks....http://www.hk94.com/hk/index.php?showtopic=19608

Just as I was finishing up the requirements of my patrol grid I received a message from BdU of a convoy that was heading my way and as I had 5 torpedoes left, I said, "What the heck, let's give it a go". Once I had sank a T2 Tanker, the 5 warships started active 'pinging' and I heard it this time and I heard the echo back when it bounced off. Wow. I was real lucky getting out of that mess.

I sunk 3 of the 5 warships and the rest went back to guarding the convoy and didn't bother looking for me. Lucky eh? Yeppers :p Oh, Ya, one was a bow shot at 450 m.

bowshot from 450 meters I love those...I had one with +- 380 meters with my aftertube he was chasing me and shooting his board cannons at me....took some damage but hell...it was worth the torpedo hitting him...kinda see the ship lifts up a bit from the water...

Err, the goal is to NOT hear the damn thing!

I don't believe I have had definitive answer. Should I be hearing a "ping" before I get the message "The enemy are pinging us, Sir!" ???

I dont know about before you get the message, but if the destroyer is close enough I certainly hear the pings.

I think it depends on where you are - if you are in inside the 3d sub, yes you will hear it. At least some of the other screens you will not.

Well, thanks very much guys. I've never heard the pinging of a destroyer while I'm submerged trying to evade them before I get the message from my crew, so maybe there isn't any?

If I remember correctly, I have heard the sound before the message. It was not so intence and definitely the DD had not locked on my sub (yet).
