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...

CAOD (Command Aces of the Deep) was a win95 version of AOD. But it is buggy. The cd version of AOD is best for several reasons; 1. easy to install via cd. 2. Not buggy like caod. 3. Has several interesting additions on the cd; video interviews, a well done history/tactics section, etc.


Regarding SH3 and audible asdic, I have seen several claims of the "silent asdic" method but have never found any proof being provided of such.
Maybe I missed such. Wouldn't be the first time.
