Towed array depth

[Aeromech84]

Does the towed array stay at the same depth as the sub, or can I have my sub above the layer with the towed array below the layer?

no, towed arrays are at the same level as the sub/ship, it is such IRL

How why

Shouldn't you be able to control the depth of the towed array by adjusting the speed of the sub and the length of the towed array?

Probably just hasn't been implemented yet.

i have never seen that option even in a sub simulation. Never heard of that being a thing.

wrong

Towed Arrays can be lowered below the layer and it is a common tactic. For ex. it is simulated in Dangerous Waters, Sub Command, 688i, Harpoon, Command Modern Ops.

If my memory serves me right, you can do this in Dangerous Waters. If you position your sub just above the layer and slow it down, the towed array will fall below the layer and pick up contacts.

Your memory is correct.
