If you make enough noise, the hydrophone will work just fine, thank you very much. But being below the thermal layer would have a tendency to confuse the sonar / hydrophone operators, since the layer will at the least "bend" the sound of your submarine, making it to where it sounded like you were where you weren't... and other times, the layer would "reflect" the sonar signal, and make it bounce off into nothingness. So they can probably hear you, but can't locate you. Come back up to PD though, and let them see your scope, and they'll find you quick enough...  |
Thank you for the reply, propbeanie.
It's probably just me unfamiliar with SH4 mechanics. One more thing, I noticed FORTSU recognition manual doesn't have ship length. Is there a plan to include that in the future?

in TMO, three and sometimes four escorts will circle the area where they detect you. then one escort will dash in for a DC attack while the other two or three sit back, positioned at various angles, listening for you to dash off in a reaction to the DC attack. then a different escort picks up your sound pattern and then executes the maneuver again, and again, and again, until you are sunk or you have managed to out-smart them and sneak away. i refer to it as the Circle of Death, because if you get caught in it, well, you are probably dead-sub-sailing.

TMO destroyers is definitely crazier than FORTSU one, I think it's sensors is almost borderline cheapshot.
