Sure, but I don't base my judgment only on this video, that's why I'm asking you to describe the game better.

I'm always surprised at the number of SH3 players and modders that haven't ever played AOD.

Indeed, when reading your description , I really want to try it myself. I've already tried to download from internet, but it didn't work. You wrote "cd-rom version, not caod". What does "caod" mean ?

Well, that's not correct. I've finally understood that the escorts are constantly using ASDIC even before you have been detected. But when you hear a "ping", that means that the AI has just detected you. You don't hear any ping if you are not in the search pattern. And if you hear the ping, then the AI will hear it too and detect you. But indeed, you can't hear any ping before AI detects you, and you should hear it from far distance (I guess
) but not so loud...
