no constant Sonar ping?

[wiz]

i'm just wonndering if it is realitic or not for sonar, because when i'm in battle, they useally give me one ping and that's it, it's not realistic i beleive, or maybe it's just because i'm in 1941

I seldom say anything negative about the game , but the “Dev’s” broke it around Version ( B-126 ).

The older versions of the game had pinging.

Now, some will still argue or debate that there is pinging , you just don’t hear it.

Nope, it’s broken.

I was waiting for this to be honnest

Sorry, I couldn't help it! It always come to mind whenever I hear someone say, "one ping" 🤣

well. firstly, i'm getting my rear end pinged off when there are a good number of escorts specifically. secondly, im pretty sure the only time you would hear active ASDIC in real life is when the sound propogates through the water and then comes to contact with your hull ie. you are in the beam. If the sound is directed away from the boat, since it operated on the high sonic range of 14-22 khz its doubtful human ears would even pick it up, and if they did, it would sound like... whales humping, anything but a sonar ping.

I think hes talking about adding a little bit of Hollywood to the game which is fine.

I wish that there was more Das boot type sound effects, that loud dunking crash dive sound, that whacky water outside crackling sound when your under.

I also think that the lack of ping costs atmosphere. As said this problem is known for a longer time.

yes, i'm a sailor in real life, and i know exactly how a sonar sounds like, like a whale whistle, but damn, there is definitly a hollywood ping sonar here and its not constant and too bad , it could litterally make how ♥♥♥♥ the crap of out us and stress, i hope they would fix it

Yes , some of us would like the Movie Effect , of constant pinging with the sound of rapidly approaching screws.

I think sonar back there may have had a different sound.
And I am not an expert on sonar equipment, but since every other game about ww2 submarines has multiple pinging, it might be historically correct.
Maybe that will be taken care of by the devs, or by some modder. ;)

That sums is up well!

U-Boat veterans from WW2 describe the sound of ASDIC as a chirr and hitting the boat like dropping a handfull of dried peas into a tin can.
ASDIC didnt send single pings like Hollywood, it send a serie of "pings", waited a short time for the echo and send the next serie, like a cricket

The crackling sound is already there.

More like a barnacle bubbley sound. I think the underwater sounds need some more variety considering how much time is spent there.
