ASDIC active sonar?

[autRIZZm]

Has anyone experienced enemy destroyers using active sonar to hunt for them while submerged? I haven’t seen any discussion regarding it yet and don’t remember it being present last I played the game a couple months ago.

yeah i have heard it but it is not really realistic since it only does one ping and then nothing anymore. In reality you would of course have continuous pings. i hope they will fix that as well ...

Yes, I've had a destroyer hunting me with sonar when I took out most of his convoy. I deep-dove, popped a decoy, and finished off the last ship while he was busy throwing depth charges at the decoy. But I don't think he pinged more than once or twice during the entire encounter.

yes theyve used it on me, and not just one ping. its very effective theyre gonna fnd you.
At this point if its before mid or late 42 you can risk hull damage and goto 162. you can still take damage if youre unlucky but most their charges cant reach you. of ccourse the hull may suffer failures in part.
Decots work wonders. if youre not too deep thhe abasolute best you can do is lay on the seabed, and turn on manual steering turn off gyrocompass, put eveyrone to bed with blue light on. you should be making almost NO noise and the seabed should hide you. Of course i you low enough for the seabed youre def in depth charge range and its gonna be hairy...
